This is our Raiding/ Infantry Aces campaign at my local club.

You may have one raiding force and/or one garrison force, you do not need to use the same force for every game but you must stick to the same force organisation chart. All forces must be legal, i.e. take the basic core troops, if you can’t do this let me know.

Turn 1 Deep Desert
You can only take combat and weapons platoons, no support.
You cannot have any armoured platoons, unarmoured teams only.

It looks fun,

As a German player I am looking at picking up a Panzerspah Platoon, But am unsure which one? The Half-track ones appeal, but AA probably won't feature so I'm sure whether to go with the 8 Wheeler or 4? There will be lots of transports and vehicles so the lighter 2cm cannon shouldn't be too much of a problem. The Book were using is NORTH AFRICA...

UPDATE Wow, Mid War Raiding is crazy fun. It so luck based it is untrue, that said it is great fun and very, very quick to play. It seems initially, that it is all in favour of the raider, but with large infantry forces for the garrison and some motorization/ mortars you can race around and cut off the Raiders. It is very much damned if don't damned if you do. Do you run the gauntlet of the HMG's and go straight off the board next turn? Or do you divert and potentially end up trapped by a reinforcing platoon cutting you off? Did night come early? Or has dawn broken?

Very well designed, and immensely fun.
