Join Andy and James as they finish an unfinishable board game and whine about it.

SPI’s The Campaign For North Africa is a comically complicated board game that feels like a practical joke. It was published in 1978, and to this day it remains unfinished. For some reason (perhaps masochism), Andy and James will be playing the 1,500 hour board game to completion - no matter the toll on their minds

    Breakdowns, bayonets and battle planning. The guys wave goodbye to Operation Stage 2 and buckle up for the final Operation Stage of Turn One. All eyes are on the centre of the map for the upcoming engagement that is set to end the turn. The mailbag sheds new light on the Heathcliff mystery and the alternative roles within the game. Stick around to the end if YOU are a rental tenant in need of some vindication.

    Tactical cunning is in the air, and Andy has been breathing in an unhealthy level of it, call a doctor, quick! Upon their return from the War With A Mate company retreat, the guys are tackling the twilight portions of Operation Stage 2. Combat comes to a tense halt, with truck movement on the horizon. Another Māori centric history segment vows to showcase some of the most intimidating folks in the desert, and James tries to tackle the desert heat with more lateral-thinking Common Ground.

    Decisive assault in Operation Stage Two has left James reeling from some very heavy losses on the ground, leaving Andy braced for what could be a disproportionate response. Looking at some of the more formidable units in the history segment, Andy treats us to some information on the 28th Māori Battalion. An episode that…wait, what is this? Who did this?!

These guys spend a lot of time saying in the first 10 episodes how they aren't making progress, but I 100% believe that this is an accurate representation of how it feels to play this game. There is a bar for entry here. You do need to know what the board game they're playing and why it's such a herculean task, but you're gonna want to be able to say you've been listening since the first year of this decade long adventure.

Seriously, this is a bizarre quest they've set off on and I want to know how it ends.
