Desert Rats Vs. Afrika Korps review:
P.S. During World War Two my grandfather, a Major in the Royal Engineers, survived being blown up by a German land-mine. His truck and driver weren't so lucky. I’d be interested to hear how he feels about those life-changing events being turned into a PC video game, especially because this game opens with a truck driving over the sand and exploding a land-mine.
