For Operation Crusader there is an excellent scenario for The Operational Art of War III (Matrix Games) called "Tobruk ’41." HPS also has a Panzer Campaigns title called Tobruk ’41 which includes this battle. If you have the space, you can also get the boardgame DAK2 (Multiman Publishing) to recreate this and other North African battles.
