Above the British "defenders" dig in on what passes for terrain. Below, the German anti-tank screen moves forward.
The British so-called "defenders" attacked from the outset, and eventually left much of the Afrika Corps burning in the desert! This was down to a combination of superb cards and inspired play; one air attack, alone, took out most of an artillery regiment and also a battery of 88's.
In place of Heineken, we drank a chilled Italian wine.

Great looking game, I have never tried a game in that scale but it looks quite attractive due to the easy storage of the miniatures and terrain.
Cheers
Yes it is very efficient; all the models and cards go in one really useful box; and the hills in two more. The mats take up a bit more space...
Weird...I was reading up on the desert war yesterday :-)
The Roman wagon...peasy. If you want I can bung you some plans in (roughly 28mm) The only Problem I can see is sourcing some wheels but apart from that they are a doddle to make from scrap plastic.
Let me see...which Forum can i send you the plans on??? LAF?
Hi Paul, plans would be great! My email address is on the front of my blog.
I was admiring the Warlord model, but it is just a little small for my tastes, so scratch-build would be a good way to go! Also, I am cheap. ;-)
The warlord model, although it Looks nice it is bloody expensive!!! 25 quid! Mine cost...??...2 normal Pins :-D
Busy at the mo, but I´ll get around to it ASP..tomorrow . I´ll give a list of materials I used...all scrap stuff but with a set square and a sharp stanley knife it really is easy.
Looks to been an interesting game and definitely topical (or should that be tropical).
Nice film reference too! One of my all time favourite films.
Mine, too. Love those war films....
Nice looking game Simon.
Funnily enough, seven years on, I keep thinking about this game. I'm minded to play it again, or something similar. It was a blast...
