Kasserine: Baptism by Fire

Kasserine: Baptism by Fire is a two-player World War II folio wargame from Decision Games covering the 1943 Battle of Kasserine Pass in Tunisia. Rommel’s forces attack the inexperienced and overextended U.S. II Corps, testing whether the Americans can recover from a dangerous deployment and hold against a fast-moving Axis offensive.

Product Type: Folio game.

Using the Fire & Movement system, Kasserine emphasizes maneuver, support fire, and asset management. Players can commit artillery, mortars, and dive bombers to influence combat as attacks develop, while two-sided units can absorb losses before being eliminated. The result is an attritional North African battle where timing and support allocation matter as much as raw strength.

Contents include: one 17×22 inch terrain map, 100 die-cut counters, one standard rules booklet for the series, and one exclusive rules booklet for this title.
