You might want to check the Scenarios section of this web site; the Desert Leader variant combines PL, PL'40 and Arab-Israeli Wars (for the map boards) for a very nice treatment of the British vs the Afrika Korps in North Africa.
If you want to pick up copies of old games (sometimes cheap) ...
Haunt eBay. I picked up a copy for US$7.50 plus shipping. Old AH stuff is always available there, and titles re-appear almost weekly. Other places to find potential sellers: www.gameboardgeek.com and www.gamersalliance.com. Good luck! Mark
