Bolt action Duel in Sand Scenario

 As a birthday gift, my son gave me some time so we could play a game.

Combined 51st Highland Division on left with 38th Irish Brigade on the right with 7th Armoured Division in the centre.
The Afrika Korp position holding a fuel supply dump and village 
My son noticing that he can put units inside the desert buildings I got back in January. These were the Bolt Action debut for the game.

So my plan was to draw his units away from the objective by rushing infantry towards the village, which worked until they got bogged down in trying to get the building 

The British armour began to advance on the objective which Ian noticed and using the superior German guns and armour picked off my tanks. 

The infantry was able to close in but even though they assaulted the tanks, it was no good. The DAK holds onto the village, and the 8th Army needs to find a new commander

Need to crack on with some projects with bits


 I've been trying to decide what stuff I need to work on to fix up units that need support.

I know that my Indian and New Zealand Divisions lack some gun support so I'm going to look in the bits boxes and see what I can come up with

Many of them are going to have to be mock ups ie barrels with gun shields but lack carriages

I'm also kicking around the idea of building sangars to give some more defensive structures. 

Keep thinking, and dreaming and eventually they will come onto the table 

The added issue is, where did I put all the bits I'm trying to build ahhhhhhhhh
