Gekitou! Rommel Corps was created as part of the "40" series. The concept of the "40" series involves simulation games that use fewer than 40 tokens and each game lasts about 40 minutes. However, with the reprint, some markers were added, bringing the number of tokens to 50. The theme of Gekitou! Rommel Corps is Operation "Crusader", launched by the British 8th Army on November 18, 1941. This operation led to the British forces breaking the siege of Tobruk, which was surrounded by Axis troops. The game is a duel between two players: one controls the British forces, while the other leads the Axis forces (German and Italian). The first edition of Gekitou! Rommel Corps was published in 2013 in the Wargame Handbook (published by Kokusai-Tsushinsha).
