The ridiculously complex Campaign for North Africa boasts 1,500 hours and recommends you play with 10 people - these gamers aim to finish it with two.

That's why I always camelmax every match. You cant counter it. So far I've never lost (everyone else quits first).

Camelmaxing works in just about every game. No one wants to play monopoly with you if you start buying camels and camel hotels. That's a win in my book.

Just so that you know how much they have taken onto themselves:

Like horror movie characters ignoring clear and obvious warnings, a pair of friends, Andy and James, have paid no heed to this suggestion [to play with 10 people]. They are trying to complete The Campaign for North Africa all by themselves, documenting the process in podcast form. 20 months and 88 episodes after this folly began, they are finally done with the six-turn practice scenario, and are ready for the entire 111-turn war

I salute these madman's for their stubbornness and hope they can finish the fame.

I had to watch way too many loops of that to understand what was happening.

Infamous for its "pasta rule" which requires Italian troops to use more water supplies so they can cook spaghetti

Unless you're by the sea; in that case the troops will just use seawater and save on salt consumption.
