Ground Forces in WW2 North African Campaign

AndrewR · Post by **AndrewR** » June 7th, 2011, 5:12 pm

The North African Campaign took place in North Africa from 10 June 1940 to 16 May 1943. It included campaigns fought in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts (Western Desert Campaign, also known as the Desert War) and in Morocco and Algeria (Operation Torch) and Tunisia (Tunisia Campaign). (Wikipedia)

How about any ground vehicle which took part?
Commonwealth, US, French, German, Italian... Lots of options for everybody.

Poll open for 7 days, you may change your vote!

I'd probably do either a Matilda or a K2 ambulance (Ice Cold in Alex).

Cheers

Andrew

im saying 'brain ready to explode' cos what i was planning to use for the barabrossa gb is more suitable for this!!!

i will say 'maybe' depending on what else comes my way before either of them start

Didn't even have to think about this one.

Many, many options available. I could do several!

Not sure if I can commit to this or not but i do have the Revell L.R.D.G. combo kit I've been looking forward to building.

Not really viable at this stage, with only 5 firm commitments. I'd like more than just the bare minimum of participants to make it a fun GB.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes...is that enough yes's? I would LOVE a GB for this. Desert Fox all the way!

Well we have 6 people, but I'd really like a few more to launch this one. There was lots of interest in the Future GB #2 Poll for the AFV option, so any more takers for this?

Cheers

Been on Holiday - Count me in.

Looks like we have enough interest. What does everyone think about October 1st as the start date, running for all of October?

I might be a late starter as I am overseas early October and not sure when I get back...there is a great stash growth shop in Brussels so I will definitely have something to build just not sure if I'll have the time...

I can't think of anything coming up in the forseeable future that would stop me being able to build, so I'm good with any month of the year.

If it were after Telford, ie. late November onwards, I'd be interested. But if October then it would have to be a no, too much to do for Telford.

How about starting Oct 16th and running until the end of November? We're getting crowded with GBs at the end of the year?
Another alternative would be August.
