This is my attempt to recreate the Desert War that ranged across Egypt, Libya and Tunisia during the early and mid part of the second world war. In particular I am focusing on the period around the middle of 1942 up to the Second Battle of El Alamein in October and November 1942. I am using the Flames of War rules with 6mm (1:285-1:300) scale models on large games tables to recreate the wide open warfare of the period.
