Most people think of World War II battles raging in Europe and the Pacific. One lesser known, but very important, front was along the coasts of Northern Africa. Control of that area allowed supply ships to get much needed food, weapons, and supplies to forces into Europe.

You have joined the Allied Forces in fighting for this land. What If You Were on the African Front in World War II allows YOU to CHOOSE what to do amidst the action. See if you have what it takes to help control the area!
