Quake kills at least 2,000 in Morocco :

Homes folded in on themselves and mothers and fathers were crying as boys and helmet-clad police carried the dead through the streets.

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:

Flying the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 (in North African campaign colours) against the Supermarine Spitfire Vc (trop.) over the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations in 1942.

Tough fight, but beautiful little video.

SCS North Africa, start of turn 7, June 1941. Last turn was an inactive turn of moving reinforcements forward after two turns of no Axis supplies due to convoy raid events, and Commonwealth attacks to take advantage of that lack. (Churchill demanded action as well.)

At that point the Commonwealth was forced to withdraw most of their good units from the front, leaving Rommel with superior numbers, but without the supplies to advance.

This turn sees both sides with a need to move reinforcements to the front to relieve their respective disadvantages, CW troops and Axis supplies. It may be another inactive turn of movement only.

Found another cool bit of culture from southern Algeria. To participate in something like that would have to be trance inducing.

SCS North Africa at the start of turn 4.

British have secured Tobruk for supply and shipping. They have moved most of their forces west to the mountains where the Italians are assembling a hasty defense

But Rommel has arrived in Libya and will soon be on the scene.

Set up the full campaign for The Gamer's SCS North Africa. I have only played some of the smaller scenarios so far, so we will see how far I get.

This is the start of turn 1, December 1940, the Italian invasion of Egypt is already under way, but the Brits have a lot of forces poised to push them back. Rommel doesn't show for a few turns, so Il Duce's boys are on their own.

The Mahgribi Kufic script is a slight modification, and features a significant amount of curves and loops as opposed to the original Arabic Kufic script.
Al Mahgrib is not only morocco but im this case includes Algerua, Tunis and other parts of north Africa

Sudan Crisis

"Fighting resumes in Sudan after 24-hour ceasefire ends

Shelling and gunfire resumed Sunday in the Sudanese capital, witnesses said, at the end of a 24-hour ceasefire that had given civilians rare respite from nearly two months of war. "
