Using the Turn-Based Strategy game Combat Mission:Afrika Korps as its platform, this will be an unfolding double-sided story, based on fictional events in WWII and written from the point of view of the men on the ground where YOU get to decide the strategy undertaken by the Generals, and ultimately what happens in the story.
Regular decision points will occur throughout the game during which you will be able to vote on how to proceed based on events in the story and feedback from your faithful Generals.
Your Generals are The Purist for the Allies and Boff for the Axis, and they will follow your commands to the letter, aplying their own skill and judgement as circumstances arise, but always following the basic strategies for attack or defence that you lay down.
So, choose your side, and follow the links to get involved in the action!
