The Operation Torch campaign of Bolt Action has begun.

The British, after being pushed almost to the banks of the Nile and now fully reinforced by convoys from the Suez, are launching a multi-pronged counterattack into Mersa Matruh. Three different games will be played to decide the winner here.

The Italians have decided to establish a defensive line at Tobruk, laying minefields and bringing in forces to hold it.

Meanwhile, the Americans' initial assault on French North Africa has begun, and the Germans are scrambling to move forces into position to hold the west.
