Hey, all. Here's a few pics of a what-if scenario of mine for 12 players. I ran it a few months ago at DayCon, in Dayton, Ohio.


1942, Assault on Airfield 23 - German tanks launch a surprise raid on a British airfield in North Africa.


British airfield 23 overview.






British tanks emerge from the edge of the small village to defend their airfield from the surprise German attack.




An M3 Grant and an M3 Stuart (Honey) skirt the fuel dump to take up defensive positions protecting the hangar.




German tanks rolling in to the airfield catch the British defenders completely off guard, as they attempt to get set up in advantageous positions.




An M3 Grant and M3 Stuart (Honey) holding the right flank against a Pz.III and Pz.IV that are creeping behind the hangar.






An M3 Grant takes up position on the front side of the hangar, taking cover behind a Gloster Gladiator scout plane.

The deadly tank killer, a Marder III gets behind an M3 Grant and puts one up the tailpipe. This poor sod was the 2nd of three victims of the Marder on the day. BOOM!
