Battles in a Distant Desert

Battles in a Distant Desert is a single player, shareware, wargame set during the war in Iraq.

The player has limited resources with which to complete three scenarios which the game documentation describes thus:* "Berm Busting" - Your company is charged with the mission of securing this sector of the berms and hold it until the oncoming units of Bear's "Hail Mary" push, arrive to pass thru you.

• "The Streets of Khafji" - Command the infantry and artillery defense of this northern Saudi resort town as the Iraqis attempt to storm and take control of the town. Or control the Iraqi attack and see if you can hold Khafji.
• "The Az Zibayir Road" - The war is lost for the Iraqi Army in Kuwait, and the escape is underway. Led by elements of the armored divisions occupying Kuwait, the Iraqi Army attempts to return to Iraqi with great amounts of equipment and plunder.

The shareware version of the game gives the player only the 'Berm Busting' scenario.
