About the game
Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943 covers the events of 1943 in Tunisia, North Africa. Recovering from their losses after the crushing defeat and subsequent retreat after the Second Battle of El-Alamein, the German Afrika Korps - reinforced and now supported by the Italian Army - prepare once more to put steel against steel with the Allies.

The value story
Across all 80 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is less well reviewed than 74 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. War on the Sea ($39.99, scores 27) and Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front ($34.99, scores 47) both outscore it.
