PLEASE NOTE that World at War: Operation Crusader (Mac) requires a color Mac system with at least 5mb of RAM. Operation Crusader, the first in the W@W series, focuses on the North African port city of Tobruk, late in 1941. As General Rommel was preparing for a renewed offensive against the British in Egypt, Winston Churchill was convincing his newly-appointed commander of the Middle East, General Sir Claude Auchinleck, to start his own offensive into Axis-held Libya. The goal was to relieve the surrounded British garrison at Tobruk, and the inducement Churchill offered was 500 new British and American tanks. The clock was ticking as each side refitted, repaired, and planned for the coming engagement. On November 18th, 1941, General Auchinleck launched Operation Crusader, a campaign that was to last until January 17, 1942, with a price tag of nearly 600 tanks and 48,000 lives. This demo features the scenario entitled, "To the Rescue", a mid-level scenario which represents the initial battles to relieve Tobruk. This scenario includes the British 7th Armored Division, the 22nd Guards Brigade, and other support forces trying to break through to the city of Tobruk, while the Italian Bologna and Ariete Divisions reinforced by the German 15th Panzer Division defend the outer ring of the Tobruk perimeter.
