Frontline: Afrika Korps

Frontline: Afrika Korps is a World War II strategy game set in the North African campaign. You command the Afrika Korps or the Allied Desert Rats in historical battles, managing resources and using tactical decisions to outmaneuver enemy forces. You can play as Italy, the Wehrmacht, the Commonwealth or the USA, each with its own playstyle and tactics.

Campaigns and missions

The game includes 30 historical missions based on battles in the North African theater, with combined-arms combat between Axis and Allied forces. Missions take place on desert maps ranging from Syria’s rugged terrain to Tunisia’s coastal strongholds, where dunes and oases can affect the course of battle. Dynamic campaigns feature forces associated with Rommel’s Afrika Korps and Montgomery’s Desert Rats.

There are also 12 sandbox scenarios, available from the start. Choose a side, an era from 1939 to 1945, and custom weapon loadouts.

Build and develop your forces

Your army combines core units, specialized support troops and elite special units. Each unit type has a skill tree, and units can gain levels, specialize and unlock up to four abilities. You can also call in reinforcements through the reserves and recruitment system, while managing your manpower.

Battlefield tactics

Use airstrikes, paratroopers and anti-aircraft weapons, and account for mines and demining when planning an attack. Fog of war makes reconnaissance and ambushes part of combat. Infantry and artillery can mount transport trucks to move quickly across the battlefield, while repair kits, ammunition, fuel and resupply trucks support your forces. You can also repair and take command of enemy tanks and artillery that have been knocked out.

The game has English voice narration throughout.
