Chain of Command Wargame Rules - Italian Invasion of Egypt



I keep working on my Army Lists for "High Command" and I expect to start publishing them quite soon. Meanwhile, an 'exercise' with "Chain of Command".

My main purpose was to translate in the Orders of Battle the proportion between the two Armies during the Italian Invasion of Egypt, with the Italians with more manpower and the Commonwealth with more quality in the assets and organisation.

Once again, I don't know if it's possible or not to have a game with this OOB.

My appreciation to the following and pay them a visit:
