Bravery in the Sand is a two-player game that covers the major part of the battle known as Operation Crusader in North Africa during World War Two. Covering the period from November 20 to December 3, 1941, players assume the roles of the Axis and Commonwealth generals to determine who will be victorious in this battle.

One player controls the Commonwealth force (British, South African, New Zealand, and Indian), and the other player the Axis force (German and Italian).

Players activate formations via chit draw, and combat is of the roll-to-hit variety. Includes rules for battlefield recovery, replacements, fortifications, Rommel and more.
