El Alamein

The Battlefield General game books put you in command of the forces engaged in some of history's most famous battles.

Your ability to make the right tactical decision will be tested at every turn of the page.

The 2nd Battle of El Alamein in October 1942 was one of the crucial turning points of WWII.

Here Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery ('Monty') and the British Eighth Army (the famous 'Desert Rats') halted the victorious advance of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (the Desert Fox) and his Afrika Korps.

Britain's vital interests in the Middle East, particularly the vital oil fields, were thus saved.
