Friend or Foe

DAK-II, The Campaign in North Africa 1940-1942 Released in 2004 by Multiman Publishing. Bought by me, probably around same time, from a forgotten game store in Oakland, CA.

Pursuit of Glory (the campaign) - with R. This may be one of the twelve. But the complete each game within a month. This has already been going on for months. 4x House Ruled version of Federation & Empire - online. This is not one of the twelve. Game progress is sloooooow.
