Mirages: '40 '41

Step into the harsh, unforgiving deserts of North Africa during World War II with Mirages, a deeply immersive, operational-level war game that recreates the pivotal battles from December 1940 to June 1941. It covers operations Compass, Brevity, Battleaxe and Skorpion.

Designed for two players but also suitable for solitaire play, Mirages transports you to a theater where strategy, supply lines, and terrain are as crucial as firepower.

MIRAGES is the first game in the Formation Series which is based on our previous releases Crossing the Line, Across the Bug River and Operation Theseus. Further games will follow, all of which can be played using the same series rules.
