 Desert Rats Vs. Afrika Korps PC Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Set against the backdrop of the conflict in northern Africa during World War II, Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps tells the story of the conflict from the viewpoint of several fictional characters rather then historical figures, before each mission their respective stories are told through journals and the occasional cut-scene.
Missions in Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps vary in difficulty and style, in some mission you will be defending areas you control while in others you will be required to go deep behind enemy lines with only infantry units at your disposal.
Despite my complaints Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps puts in a good performance and is worth a look, especially if you like strategy games that require you to think fast and react quickly to events on the battlefield.
