Evening fellow gamers,

Today Yarkshire Gamer embarks on a new "project", having done the largest WW1 Naval Battle in 1 to 1, it's now time to tackle the Western Desert battles of 1940 and 41.

It rubbish kit, fighting one sided battles over featureless terrain so if you like Panthers and Tigers in a 1000 pt battle  with cover everywhere using competition rules, look away now, this could be too much for you !

As with all my stuff there is a full guide to rules to play along regardless of what set of rules you use, along with lots of lovely pics, if I do say so myself.

It's day one of the Campaign and British Light Forces are crashing through the Italian Lines, or are they just crashing ?

Enjoy

Regards Ken

And no one else have commented .
Just love what you have done.
This is my favorite period of WWII.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Sometimes things just don't get noticed, no worries.

You are in luck as I am just writing up our second game, these have been some of the most fun / close games we have had for a while, glad you spotted it.

I missed this as well! Great looking game and a very informative write up. I completely agree about the linked scenario style of campaign.

The early desert war is a favourite of mine mainly due to the Aussies. Lovely work on the caunter scheme.

All the best,

Helen
