Rommel y Montgomery is a board game released in 1982 for 2–4 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Hexagon Grid.
In the beginning of WWII, the Italians, from their Libyan territories, started their strategic expansion toward Egypt, the main British territory in North Africa. The strong British response endangered the presence of the Axis in Africa and forced the Germans to send them an enemy of their size: the legendary Afrika Korps, lead by Marshall Rommel. The movements of the Germans towards El Cairo and the British counteroffensives into Libya ended on the 23rd October 1942 in the decisive battle of El Alamein, that lasted 11 days, where the Afrika Korps, under great supply problems, faced up to the mighty British Eighth Army lead by Lieutenant-General Montgomery. (Translation from rulebook).
Rommel y Montgomery supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Rommel y Montgomery is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Rommel y Montgomery for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Rommel y Montgomery has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
