Patton vs Rommel description

Tactical and somewhat simplistic wargame, dedicated to the battle of Normandy immediately after the d-day landings; you can play for both sides (led by, as you can tell from the title, Patton or Rommel). Only two types of troops – infantry and tanks.

The objective is to win some local battles and earn "prestige points" (what is interesting – they are positive allies, while the Germans – negative). The main feature of the game is the division of the playing field for so-called "zone of control" and the presence of similarity "fog of war", that is outside your "zone of control" forces of the enemy and his actions are invisible to you. Also, the game has the opportunity to ask the "Council" of Patton or Rommel (depending on who you are playing).

Graphically, the game is similar to the old war-game, but it to an almost complete lack of graphics is added the fact that all the images in black – and-white (though here it just adds to the atmospherics). The game is not too complex, so can recommend it including those who want to learn how to play wargames.
