Desert Rats

These rules are intended to provide a framework for tank battle games set in the Deserts of north Africa in World War 2. The basic groups of forces are tanks and similar mechanised forces, and the intention is that they be used in a ‘back-to-back’ style of game on two maps or terrain models, using 1/300 scale models.
