The terrain -El Alamein

El Alamein as a battlefield gained its significance due to battles that occurred during the Second World War, more specifically, during the North African Campaign, when British troops defeated the Italian-German forces led by Erwin Rommel. The front covered a large area, and was situated along the Mediterranean coast, around El Alamein through to the “Qattara Depression” of the Libyan desert.

In-game, this location is an inland elevation of the terrain. The battlefield is located away from the coast, in a position that can be considered ideal due to its diverse terrain. Approximately half of the location hosts desert sand, which can prove advantageous to those seeking cover or even a beneficial vantage point. The remainder of the location hosts rocky formations which are divided into smaller areas, allowing for intense close combat.

Keep your wits about you! Good luck and good hunting!
