The massed Anti-tank battery
The sands of North Africa will be fought over again. The Ariete division will have 1 tank squadron, 1 Self propelled gun platoon and an artillery battery.
They have been built (as of September 2024) need some paint and a bit more of a battle on a small table space.
Also some pictures might be good too.
So during my leave in Fredericton, the hotel I stayed at messed up my 2 nights that I booked, so I canceled one night, which gave me enough funds to stop by a local game store and low and behold what I found!
E.B. Sledge was part of the 1st Marine Division. 3rd Battalion 5th Marine Regiment.
His story also was used as part of the production of Spielberg and Hanks The Pacific.
Sledge suffered greatly from PTSD after the war and eventually was able to find his sanity and humanity again. And as I said before, I'm not usually interested in American military history but my connection to having lived in Japan for 16 years drew me to the book after seeing the series.
