Refimprove date May 2007 Tobruk is a board wargame set in the North Africa n Desert circa 1942 and was published by Avalon Hill in 1975. The game is largely focused on the armored forces available to the United Kingdom British , Italy Italian , and Germany German forces of , with infantry , artillery , and air superiority air aspects of combat present in secondary, reduced or abstract form. The game scale is platoon level, with each counter representing a platoon of infantry or individual vehicle or artillery piece. Historical basis The historical basis for the scenarios are the 1942 actions collectively known as the, Battle of Gazala and Battle of Bir Hakeim , all occurring near the city of Tobruk . German and Italian forces under Erwin Rommel succeeded in driving the British forces back. This is not to be confused with the Siege of Tobruk , during an earlier phase of the highly mobile desert war. The game s scenarios condense or selectively reproduce portions of key engagements that occurred during these battles. The game designers made efforts to determine to penetrating power of the various weapons systems from the lowly Rifle, Anti Tank, .55 in, Boys Boys anti tank rifle to the feared German 88 mm gun 88mm anti tank gun . This was then compared to the actual steel thickness angle of armor plate and also the profile design of the various tanks. Specific weaknesses of the various tanks are also taken into account, such as the poor armor surrounding the hull machine gun on the Fiat M13 40 Italian 13 40 . When confronting infantry and light targets, certain weapons lack a good high explosive shell, while others howitzers & mortars can wipe out infantry, but cannot confront tanks at long range. Various historical scenarios are presented, often with one side dug in on one ... damage results. A later game, Advanced Tobruk, was a new system closer in feel to Advanced Squad Leader .
