Tobruk '41 any good?

[Oxford_Guy]

Hi - I'm interested in picking up my first Tiller WW2 operational game, my main interest is in the early desert war, so am considering getting Tobruk '41, but is it any good? Are there a good mix of small, medium and larger scenarios? Are both sides fun to play?

Would prefer to start with the smaller scenarios as a newbie. I'm also considering El Alamein '42, but only because I hear it has a good Operation Compass scenario.

An alternative I'm considering is to go for the Operational Art of War and finding some decent North Africa scenarios - is that a viable choice, or would Tiller's Tobruk '41 be better, as it's purpose designed for North Afrika campaigning? Which has the better AI? Longer term I know that playing PBEM will be better and more fun, but a decent AI could help me to learn the ropes.
