The North African campaigns don't seem to get much exposure these days. That is a shame because there are so many possibilities- some that do not require many gaming pieces. Specifically, the exploits of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) and the Special Air Service (SAS) performing recon and raids upon Axis airfields, supply dumps and convoys. Armies in Miniature (AIM) has been focusing upon this theatre and I would like to share some of the vehicles painted up in hopes they may inspire more games in this theatre.

I get my North African fix in 6mm and 15mm. Here is the large Operation Crusader game I ran a few months ago.

Great write-up, Martin! Am happy to see more folks play in the sandbox! (North Africa WWII regardless of scale)

Sorry guys. I cannot seem to take a pic posted on FB and add it here. Tried using the guide to do so that Bill put up but it doesn't work for me. Was able to do it before but it doesn't work anymore.

@Dye4minis -- the problem may be that you're linking directly to a FB page? Perhaps try posting the original pic.
