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

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.

Looking into 2022

 My plans are to get a set of Flames of War cards or books for the period. I have enough kit to fight the battles but I'd like to have some hands on game aids.

Never know, but might add to the Germans and Italians.

Me thinks I need to add more to this

Medium Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery

 Since about 1976, my father and I have collected 1/72 and 1/76 vehicles and figures.

Between 1989-2021, I have further increased the collection.

As of November, 2021, I now have 1 5.5 in gun troop of 4 guns with Matador tractors. 

As such a heavy unit, I am going to be us8ng this in FOW games once I can get stat cards for the battery.

I shall be putting up some pictures of the battery shortly.

SS Paratrooper Battalion 500

 I was able to buy the Revell Germany set of German Paratroopers, which I never had.

Since I already had several sets of German Paratroopers, I decided to build these as part of my SS troops.

They rarely did jumps and were used as shock infantry in the Balkans, the Baltics and Hungary.
