You don't need a licence fee for this quality entertainment! In the aftermath of James' Scenario Win, Andy retaliates with a now superior air force and a better equipped ground force while James wields the only force he has left; force majeure.
Truck days move pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss them. The guys have little to talk about after today’s Truck Movement, however they simply won’t shut their mouths when it comes to just about anything else.
The guys fully embrace the future they have made for themselves as a victor is declared in the Practice Scenario.
This is definitively the biggest revelation to date. An episode that sees out the end of the 7th’s History Segment, some heartfelt & heart-aching Mailbag pulls, and a Common Ground that “taps” against the boundaries of what the segment means; all party to the real game-shaking developments that Andy and James discuss from this week’s gameplay.
These Truck Days just fly by nowadays - a symptom of poor supply lines if you ask me. Today, the guys close out Op Stage Two of Turn Three, staring down the barrel of the halfway point of the Scenario. A mailbag segment that takes us into a corner of history far from the North African Campaign pairs lovely with the bold push of the 7th Armoured Division in today’s History Segment and all topped off with Andy’s Common Ground; decisively one of the Common Ground sections he’s done.
The end of the year brings an unprecedented end to one of the most enigmatic parts of the game; the camels. In an incredibly ambitious assault on Alexandria by James, both he and Andy see heavy losses that turn their perception of the game on its head. This bumper-sized episode sees another 7th-centered history segment, a mailbag segment that delves into the structure of this project and a Common Ground that encourages the world to be Subtle, Humble and Brave.
Join Andy and James as they relish the festive vibe by waxing lyrical about topics only tangentially related to The Campaign For North Africa, pass on Merry wishes, and discuss an upcoming project for the New Year.
The climactic battle along the coastal road has finally begun. A clash of both Andy and James’ forces erupts with dramatic consequences and the promise of a long, protracted conflict. A history segment sees a less triumphant portion of the 7th’s endeavours and this week’s Common Ground sizes us all up, literally.
The festive season is in full flow! Which for some reason means James has become dejected in his feelings towards the game. Andy pushes the momentum forward this week, with a history segment that has a Batman cameo and a quintessentially petty Common Ground helps round off the calm before the storm, with some very important Land Movement approaching.
Ahh, that crisp, December air is here once more. A Truck Day that becomes so much more sees the movement of supplies on the ground and pilots in the air, in what could be the most important Air Mission section to date. Whether the tide of war will turn for either Andy or James is just one of many questions raised today. How do you contact Santa? Are the game rules truly accurate? What deserves to last forever?

Join Andy and James as they play an unfinishable board game to completion, or die trying.
From the first 14 episodes figuring out how to play, followed by their near 100-episode practice run…
SPI's The Campaign For North Africa is a comically complicated board game that feels like a practical joke. Published in 1978, with no evidenced completions of the 111-Turn game, this is a behemoth board game like no other.
