We've Been Planning for This Shelter in Place Our Whole Lives

Well before its throw-away mention on the Big Bang Theory, I was quite aware, and in awe of Campaign for North Africa. It may have been the first "new" game I learned about in my first job at a gaming store.  It's the direct inspiration for "The Great War" game that's been set up in the basement of Weird Pete's Games Pit for the last fifteen-plus years in Knights of the Dinner Table.  It's the ultimate guilty pleasure for a wargamer with all the time in the world, and an obsessive-compulsive desire to control the smallest minutiae regarding logistics.

... and if we're going to be trapped indoors for another two weeks, we should be cracking open boxes across the country.   If we start now, we can easily invest two-hundred hours into the game.  That's at least a tenth of the way to completion! (If we skip a few rules...)
