Baptism at Bardia is designed as a solitaire game of the 3rd of January 1940 attack by the 6th Australian division on the Italian garrison of Bardia as part of General Wavell s Operation Compass. The attack was the Australian army s first division level operation in WW2 North Africa. The player takes on the role of Australian Major General Mackay while the game s system of priorities guides the player in controlling the individual Italian units under General Bergonzoli s command in a manner designed to appropriately reflect the locally focused nature of the Italian defense.
