Game-a-day #75...Desert Fox


"Desert Fox" is a WWII game that simulates what it might be like to be a British tank guy in 1941.  It revolves around defeating (personally) Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, better know during WWII as, you guessed it... The Desert Fox.  This is a very complete game that mixes a kind of map based simple strategy with action segments that include: Stuka Attack, Tank Duel, Mine Field, Ambush Attack, and Convoy Attack.  While all the scenarios are fun I think the thing that set this game apart from others like it for me is that it talks.  Yes, when you are forced into any of the segments, the game actually announces (in a German storm trooper voice) the name of what you are about to play.  So when you do the Ambush Attack Scenario, the game screams "AMBUSH!", but with a German accent.  I mean the game is fun too, but talking in the 80's was like time travel sooooooooo.
