Where it came from
Supercharge: Battle of El Alamein, October 1942 was released by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1976 as part of their burgeoning catalog of historical wargames. Designed by Redmond A. Simonsen and Richard Berg, the game depicts the final Allied offensive in North Africa, a pivotal moment that effectively turned the tide against the Axis forces. It was developed during a golden age for the company, reflecting SPI's commitment to simulating specific tactical and operational maneuvers through highly detailed, paper-based hex-and-counter systems.
The game is noted for its focus on the logistical and structural challenges of the desert campaign, utilizing a design aesthetic that prioritized functional clarity and historical rigor over flashy artwork. Simonsen, who served as SPI’s art director, established a signature house style for these titles that emphasized clean typography and utilitarian maps, which became the standard for professional wargaming of the era. Upon its release, it was well-received by the hobbyist community for its accurate reflection of the attrition and supply constraints inherent in the El Alamein engagement.
