📖 About This Game

Game description from the publisher: In the early 1970's an innovator and ordnance expert named Harold "Hal" Hock got his hands on a document unseen outside of military circles: BRL 1192 (Ballistics Research Lab, Document No. 1192). The data within became the core of the ground-breaking design, Tobruk: Tank Battles in North Africa 1942. Years later, an MIT-grad and devotee saw the potential of reverse-engineering the 'programmed instruction' rules; the result is something that brings back the approach to tank vs. tank warfare, and keeps the approach true, creating a truly unique system of recreating the war in North Africa and beyond. BRL 1192: Tobruk Deprogrammed is an enhanced edition of the original Tobruk; the heart of the game remains the same, but now it can be enjoyed with a deprogrammed 24-page rulebook, revised play aids, a comprehensive selection of counters representing the men, weapons and machinery of WWII North Africa, plus a collection of geomorphic maps and new terrain overlays.
