Desert Raid

I found a solution to my camps fencing. In the back of a bits draw was a coil of barbed wire I got from GW years ago and forgot about it. I snipped it into lengths and had just enough to have three lengths for each fence piece. Not enough to keep anyone out but it does the trick I think.

I got inspired by the city build for the hobby weekend after seeing the sandbags being made with some clay so I got to work on my own. They turned out a bit large but I think they work out all right. Have to paint them up next.

I thought it would be good to do some character sheets for my SAS squad members and give them a bit of personality. My players can now pick who they want to choose for the mission. In the game they are activated by cards so I got some 1940s pin up cards to add a bit more period flavor to the game.

Finally played our two linked scenarios where our SAS team sneak into the German camp. This involved cutting a hole in the fence and creeping around some obstacles and disposing of one soldier who got in the way. Mission two had the team sabotaging some key locations before killing every German on the board with the loss of just one chap before retreating back into the desert. I was so caught up in the game I forgot to take many photos. I figured out the best way to play the camp guards to late to have any impact on stopping the British. Might try a similar game using different teams such as Dutchs crew from Predator or the A team. but it’s been a fun introduction to WW2 for me.
