• BACKGROUND
A general overview of the early North Africa campaign, from the Italian invasion of Egypt, through the long siege of Tobruk, to Operation Crusader and the Afrika Korps' counterstroke that would bring them to the Gazala Line in early 1942. Also includes background on the invasion of Crete and the Italian campaign in East Africa.

• ARMY LISTS
Nine army lists designed to be played with the character of the principal combatants for North Africa and Crete: the Deutsche Afrikakorps, the Italian Ariete armoured division, Italian Infantry divisions to face British (and Commonwealth) armoured and infantry divisions. Also, the LRDG and Auto Saharan patrols.

For Crete, army lists for the 7th Flieger Division facing the Commonwealth's beleaguered defenders of the island.

Also includes rules for alterations to the army lists to play the battles of the East African campaign.

• SPECIAL RULES
New special rules to adapt the core Battlegroup rules to the North African battlefields. Recreating the character of desert fighting, with its dusty conditions, reliance on tank warfare and mobile formations, and the wearing effects of the harsh conditions, all helping to create games with the distinctive feel of the desert war.

2 x 3rd Prize: £20 worth of your choice of Plastic Soldier Company kits

I'm fairly happy with FOW for gaming WWII, but I may pick this up just to check it out.

One great thing of the period is that it's really easy to use different rule sets.

That's a pretty nice pre-order deal as well with the free Panzer III sprue.

Picked up the main rule book, and immediately bought some 1/72 stuff. Our groups first game got cancelled, but the rules look very enjoyable.

It won't completely replace FoW, but it'll definitely get some play time.

As a desert player, definitely looking forward to this release.

The book is loaded on ship and heading to Alexandria in convoy to avoid enemy action!

Well its going to the PSC HQ but that don't sound as exciting!

Pre-order staying up till the book arrives and then pre-orders will go out before the book goes on general sale at Salute at the end of the month.

Spent yesterday on the beach drinking beer and reading my copy of Battlegroup WaR. Not only is BG our go to game (we will squeeze in a round even if we meet to play another game) but the books themselves are worthy of reading for the history and production value alone.

I've never been thrilled about NA but I'm sure that will change as soon as I get my copy of Tobruk. Also as someone said above, I'd do it just to help fund Northag or Pacific!!!
