Brazil Division for Italy.


 Ok, so I have lots of US figures which I have done up as generic NATO types for early Cold War, but I could also use them as Brazilians for the Italian campaign 

So some new games coming.

Bolt Action Battle of Crete campaign Makeme Airfield


 New Zealand troops including a Maori with a Matilda tank, section  holding an airfield from a German Paratroopers attack 

Germans consist of Paras, Luftwaffen and Mountain troops.

More to come

One of my friends who passed away, his daughter has allowed me to borrow many of his books. I shall be researching to do this action either the late summer of fall of 2022.

I was able to get a few more figures for the 14th Brigade which was an ad hoc Commonwealth brigade. My German units are ready, I just need to find my Mountain infantry.
When I returned from Nunavut, this book unfortunately was damaged by water, so I shall have to replace it eventually 



Battle of Beda Fomm British vs Italians Bolt action

 British attacking an Italian column on a coastal road

Temple Press, London, 1989



Battle of Kufra Bolt Action

 Free French and British LRDG with some Arab Camelry  attack an Italian desert fort and airstrip. 










Definitely an interesting battle 

The battle seesaw between the Axis and Allied forces. While the German armor eliminated the Allied armor, the ANZAC and Indian troops have pounded the mixed Axis troops.
The Vichy French have suffered severe casualties, the Afrika Korps have remained in the Fort while the Libiyan Arabs have kept up their fight.
