Guys, I picked up a TSR game from 1985 called Sirocco. It is a wargame, boxed boardgame. I've never seen this one, and I can't find any info on it. Anyone know anything about it?

Never played, but I think I remember the Dragon mentions (it was either ads or in Coming Attractions).

Looks like it was by Zeb and Doug.  Short review at:
A short Review | Sirocco | BoardGameGeek

Better review:
" Though you find no record of Sirocco in the hallowed scrolls of Wiki, I tell you it was! In the elder days of millennia gone by, before the age of Memoir ‘44 such a game did exist! A game using card mechanics and plastic bits…. Lilith of the CDW genre " | Sirocco | BoardGameGeek

Not sure if it was released in response to the enthusiastic reception for the MB edition of Axis & Allies, and the little popular-not-grognard casual wargame bubble that got going there c1984, but Frank might know   PDT_Armataz_01_01
