This box has everything you need to get started with an Afrika Korp army and gives you the fundamentals for building your force further.
Though always outnumbered, the veterans of the Afrikakorps excelled at combined-arms tactics. Using tanks, infantry, anti-tank guns and artillery together, they repeatedly defeated stronger forces. When the tanks encountered strong enemy tank forces, they fell back behind infantry and heavy anti-tank guns.
When the infantry faced entrenched infantry the artillery engaged the enemy anti-tank guns, while the tanks led the way covering the infantry advance. Together their combined tactics made them a fearsome foe.
