Some weeks ago, Antonio and Luca organized a Bolt
action game using a scenario included into “Western Desert Campaign”. The
scenario they choose was the battle of Mersa Brega and they played it with 20mm
miniatures
Below an overview of the battle field before the
fighting…
… photo taken by an Italian plane during his patrol
tour
Mersa Brega was a WWII battle fought in 1941 during
the opening phase of Rommel’s first offensive.
Rommel was often on the front line during the battles
and for this battle he decided to observe the DAK’s advance
The AfriKa Korps main objective
Germans decided for a preliminary bombardment
Unfortunately with few results ...
... so the Africa Korps had to enter
In the real history, the Afrika Korps expelled the
British from their positions at Marsa Brega opening the Rommel’s way to the
encirclement of Tobruk.
In this scenario my friends played the English troops
resisted so it was an Allied victory.
Looking fantastic!
