Desert Railway Delay...
« on: January 03, 2019, 02:15:56 PM »
First game of 2019 was a little 1941 skirmish using Battlegroup Tobruk with British fighting Italians in a very close run battle.



Italians took a pounding early on but held out to cause heavy losses to the British infantry but it proved to not be enough as Italian losses in vehicle eventually forced them to withdraw.

Yup fantastic job all round
But am I the only one that thinks the crew member in the L3 in photo No2 should have raised his arm behind his head like this?

I can only imagine those tanks (and particularly the small ones) would've felt like ovens in the desert sun.
