Hello peeps, we ran a WW2 Desert game using blitzkrieg commander last weekend which i have wrote up on my blog with photos on the following link. The game was based around a Armoured British force launching a counter attack against a Armoured German Force which had started to encircle the town the British were occupying. Check out the full action report at:

Good looking game and decent write up.
Looks a cracking game and a mighty fine write up too!! :-bd
Slim,
Fantastic game, looked like a lot of fun. I don't envy your Old Man having to take on that Tiger, especially with my kind of luck in terms of air support and command rolls. I love the look of your minis and table, so clean.
V/R,
Jack
I didn't think Tigers appeared in N Africa until the Libya phase so it's no wonder your Dad struggled.

They didn't, and I was told that the first to be knocked out was killed by a 2pdr. I suspect it was a 6pdr meself....

Wikipedia says:
"The first loss to an Allied gun was on 20 January 1943 near Robaa[44] when a battery of the British 72nd Anti-tank Regiment knocked out two Tigers with their 6-pounder (57 mm) anti-tank guns"
A previous Tiger I had been lost in Russia when it got stuck in a swamp and was abandoned.

So does the Tiger it's shooting up :D
Good stuff, and taking on Tigers with early-mid war gear is never fun!
enjoyed ... thank you.

for Libya read Tunisia, that's what happens when you multitask by posting while watching University Challenge! They had a North Africa question.
