Vulcan: The Tunisian Campaign

Vulcan: The Tunisian Campaign is a detailed wargame focused on the Allied invasion of North Africa during World War II. Released in 1988, it asks players to manage military units, terrain, movement, and combat across a historical campaign where logistics matter almost as much as firepower. This is not a game for anyone hoping to win a war by clicking the biggest-looking tank. Careful planning is essential, and the battlefield rewards players who understand positioning and supply rather than simply charging forward. The interface is austere by modern standards, but that leaves plenty of room for the strategic core to shine. Historical context gives the campaign additional weight, while the turn-based structure allows time to consider each move. Vulcan is very much an old-school wargame: serious, methodical, occasionally intimidating, and perfectly happy to punish a commander who has forgotten that armies need food, ammunition, and roads.
