Our early war North Africa Campaign continues apace with this the 7th instalment.

A really interesting game taking place in the middle of a Sandstorm with the visiblity changing up to three times in a turn. Dash forward into the gloom to get to that cover, only to find yourself stood in the open 30 seconds later !

Lots of fun and as always all the info you need to play along plus a write up of how we got on, oh and some pictures too. All for nowt, a reet bargain.

As someone trying to get an 8th Army force together, I find this very inspirational! Thanks for posting! It all looks great! :-*

Great looking game as always.

From a distance that table surface looks the biz - how did you make it?

PS Do you have 2 other Tildas named Badger and Toad by any chance?  lol

Hi Truscott,

As you can see above the old "Fat Badger" and "Tubby Toad" had the day off 😉

Regards the mat, it's a image file that one of the regulars bought from Wargames Vault and then went to a local printers (the ones that do banners) and got it printed off. It's the best sandy desert mat I have seen.

Thanks Ken
Yes I agree that mat looks the job alright - I have tried several cloths myself but not been happy with the look

Good looking table and of course the vehicles.  The tank commander with the mouth wrap looks the part.  Very inspiring.

Thank you for sharing!
