This pack includes the 'Tobruk' map that all the scenarios of the series are played on as well as a large set of overlays, rules for the specific terrain shown on them, 1/2" and 5/8" die cut counters featuring both the Afrikakorps and the Folgore infrantry and additional armor in the new more easily decipherable CH style.
