Nicely done, great looking armies, and all 3 have basing which ties them together.

One little point, the Brits have Matlida 1s, which I don't think we're used in the desert.  The Matlida II was used, and had even more armour and a 2pdr gun,rather then just the MGs of the Matlida I.

Good luck with the Eureopean armies, I particularly like the US Para figures.

A lovely cohesive feel for all of these, nicely painted and well based. I don't think Matilda I's were used in the desert campaign though, but could be wrong.

No. Better off with Valentines or even Shermans. Excellent presentation, though.  8)

Very nice looking army sir, and so excellent to see the British rather than the usual Afrika Corps.

I just don't understand the seeming fascination by WWII players with the Nazis.
