In the end, it's all good -- and today he articulates why. Mike Bennighof, Ph.D. 2010-03-09 http://www.avalanchepress.com/Alamein_Command.php http://www.avalanchepress.com/Alamein_Command.php Lost somewhere between the earlier desert battles of maneuver and the later, inter-allied operations in Tunisia, the battle of Alamein is often discussed but seldom gamed. With the publication of our Alamein game, that has changed. Now is your last chance to order Alamein -- in a few hours it heads for the fire pit!
