    terrain and supply

  • Clearing of Out-of-Supply (OOS) and OOC² states
• Charts
• Orders-of-Battle (OOBs)
• Separate layers for markers, transport units, supply installations,
  units

  Cargo. Supply installations cannot move otherwise. Special “Egyptian Railroad” marker to transport along rail.

  • Italian infantry reliability - keep track of Italian infantry losses and automatic surrender resolution.

The module implementation comes in three themes (see screenshots below)

• A colourful theme (PanzerarmeeAfrika-ch-1.1.0.vmod)
• SPI themed colours (PanzerarmeeAfrika+SPI-ch-1.1.0.vmod
• AHGC themed colours (PanzerarmeeAfrika+AHGC-ch-1.1.0.vmod)

The module is based on my Print’n’Play version of the game, available from BoardGameGeek and L^AT_EX Print’n’Play wargames. The sources are available from GitLab (where you will also find the latest version of the module, and Print’n’Play PDFs in both A4 and Letter formats).

The module page has also been edited to incorporate a duplicate page of the same game.

Hope you enjoy the game.

Yours,
Christian
