Special Operations Against Rommel 1941–1942

Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) is a solitaire game covering British commando operations against the Axis forces in North Africa. The player must complete one of four missions to win a scenario, or complete all four progressively more difficult missions to win the campaign game.

LRDG uses the Commando series rules. Each mission card grants the player a specified number of operations points to reach certain objectives. Operations points are expended to recruit the special ops team, then to move and attack on the map. A deck of event cards controls the opposition forces (OPFOR). Combat is resolved using a quasi-tactical system with opposing units taking turns firing at one another. Victory can increase the number of operations points available, but heavy losses can reduce them. A game ends when the player is unable to complete a mission.
