Thanks for the link. This is my exactly my period – literally that campaign is all I do in WW2. A quick browse gives me the feeling that this is a useful addition to my Operation Crusader information. It might rate with the Agar & Hamilton book, and it doesn't come with the price tag of that superb tome. Best Regards, James |

This is timely for me as I want to game with the Perry Miniatures 28mm North African Campaign figures. A great find Kaoschallenged, and many thanks for sharing it. |

"IN THE LIBYAN DESERT,where fighting has been continuous,
since 1940,fire power has been a decisive factor,and
artillery has played an important role in its development.
Guns have halted tanks and infantry; guns of all calibers
motor-drawn, self-propelled, portee, and mounted in tanks have enabled large advances to be made by both sides.
Although the primary purpose here is to describe the
employment of the artillery's fire power, the broader
picture of desert operations, especially insofar as they
relate to German tactics, is included as having an im-
portant bearing on the whole subject"
