Flames of War: Afrika Korps – German Forces In The Desert 1942-43

The German Afrika Korps is a hard-fighting force of tough veteran troops who have won many battles and expect to win many more. Their Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks outclass the British tanks they face, and have been steadily upgraded to maintain their edge over the opposition. Their infantry are organized to have "few men, many weapons," so they pack a ferocious punch whether facing infantry or tanks. These are backed by the famous "88" dual-purpose anti-tank/anti-aircraft gun and the Stuka dive bomber. Inside this book you'll find: - Background on the German Afrika Korps and its part in the fall of Tobruk, the battle of Alam el Halfa, and the Battle of Medenine. - Instruction on how to build a Panzer III Tank Company, Panzer IV Tank Company, or Africa Rifle Company. - A detailed painting guide to help you prepare your German troops for combat. —description from the publisher's website
