Afrika: The Northern African Campaign, 1940-1942, is a simulation game covering the North African Campaign from September, 1940 through December, 1942. In late 1940, the Italian Army invaded Egypt beginning the famous North African Campaign of World War II. After a short withdrawal, the Commonwealth forces counterattacked and all but threw the Italians back to Tripoli. Not content to let his southern partner bring disgrace to the Axis arms, Hitler dispatched a German contingent under a new commander: Erwin Rommel. His arrival began a rapid mobile campaign across the rocky sands. However, by the end of 1942, Rommel had failed in his final bid to seize the Nile Delta and was thrown completely out of the theater by Montgomery's pursuit after El Alamein. Axis fortunes would never rise on the African continent again. Afrika is a fast paced game of mobile warfare at the operational level. Can you take the Nile? Can your Commonwealth forces kick the Axis armor out of Egypt for good? This game gives you the tools to find out. The game's easy-to-use supply system (no writing) allows for a correct logistical aspect to the game. This is the second game in Standard Combat Series by The Gamers that began with the game Stalingrad Pocket. The series rules have been refined after lessons learned with the earlier game. This series of games was designed to off-set The Gamers's line of more complex products. Experienced players will feel comfortable with the rules as soon as they read through them. It is designed as a fast paced fun game giving a reasonable simulation of events. It was not intended to be a definitive simulation of this campaign.

Die schwere FH 18 wurde von den Unternehmen Rheinmetall in Düsseldorf und Krupp in Essen zwischen 1926 und 1930 getrennt voneinander entwickelt; die besten Eigenschaften beider Konstruktionen wurden bis 1933 in einem Geschütz vereint. Produziert wurde die Feldhaubitze ab Ende 1933 im Rheinmetallwerk Düsseldorf, außerdem von den Nachbaufirmen Spreewerk in Berlin, MAN in Augsburg, Dörries-Füllner in Bad Warmbrunn und Škoda in Dubnica/Slowakei. Sie wurde bis zum Ende des Krieges produziert, wobei insgesamt 7400 Exemplare an die Truppe ausgeliefert wurden. Der Herstellungspreis des Geschützes im Jahre 1938 betrug 44.000 RM.[1] Die sFH 18 besaß eine ähnliche Konstruktion wie die leichte Feldhaubitze 18 mit vollgummibereiften Leichtmetallscheibenrädern und Eisenfelgen. Das deutsche Afrikakorps(DAK) verfügte über mehrere Batterien 15cm schwere Feldhaubitzen.
