About the game

The Campaign for North Africa (CNA), subtitled The Desert War, 1940–43, is a strategic board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1978 that simulates the entire North African campaign of World War II. It is considered one of the most complex wargames ever published, with ten recommended players and an estimated total playtime of 1,500 hours. The game was not fully playtested before release and though creator Richard Berg speculated the game likely has been fully completed at some point, no full completion has been published.
