Ariete - The Battle of Bir el Gubi, Libya

The Tactical Combat Series (TCS) contains realistic, playable games of specific World War II actions. The game system was designed to handle two roughly regiment-sized forces, in battles lasting a day or two. The system’s emphasis is on command and combined-arms effects, with a relatively simple set of combat and movement systems. The combat command rules impose realistic limits on the player’s ability to rapidly change missions, without burdening a player with cumbersome detail. TCS was about to be retired, but we believe there may be demand to support smaller print runs, in a ziplock format. We intend to print one game to evaluate demand for TCS. The series may continue if sales show it to be economically viable.
