Rapid Fire! Monty v Rommel

This 40 page PDF takes four of the 1942 Western Desert scenarios from our Monty’s Desert Battles book and adapts them for the popular 4’ x 6’ table size. With re-worked forces represented by easy to replicate graphic orbats, it allows players to recreate some of the key clashes between Rommels’ Panzer Army Afrika and 8th Army, under its new commander, Montgomery. Himeimat pits a light, but highly mobile British delaying force against the combined German and Italian recce forces. Alam el Halfa brings to life the divisional level attack by 21st Panzer Division against a staunch British infantry and armour defence. Lightfoot allows players to replicate the Highland Division’s El Alamein assault against formidable Axis defences in a manageable space. Bir el Abd plays out a subsequent ‘breakthrough’ encounter between the Italian Ariete Armoured Division and 7th Armoured Division’s Desert Rats. With pictures of key model vehicles and units to inspire your army building, Monty v Rommel also provides Rapid Fire Reloaded vehicle and gun chart stats for all the AFVs, softskins and weapons featured in the games. —description from the publisher
