Tunisie 1943, included in Vae Victis n. 1, is an Operational level simulation of the Tunis campaign from January to May 1943 at a divisional scale. It offers two distinct scenarios, representing the two main phases of the campaign. The first scenario covers the Axis offensive whose aim was to repulse the Allies back to the Algerian border, in January 1943. The second scenario begins at the end of March, and covers the great Allied offensive that will culminate in the conquest of Tunis and the victory in Africa. As usual, all the counters are unmounted.
Tunisie 1943 supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants.

The listed playing time for Tunisie 1943 is 180–300 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tunisie 1943 for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
