Title: Bolt Action Afrika Korps Infantry Set
Condition: New
Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Sent to bolster their beleaguered Italian allies facing the combined forces of the British Commonwealth in North Africa, the German Africa Corps proven a dangerous opponent. Commanded by the legendary Erwin Rommel, the Africa Korps fought a series of ferocious battles in Egypt and Libya as each side pushed the other to breaking point. Fighting in what was referred to as the last 'Gentleman's War', the German soldier was well respected by those he faced, be they British, Australian, Indian or other nationalities. German tactics in the desert had a profound and deadly effect on how the British armour and infantry formations interacted with one another and these lessons were learnt for the later conflicts in North West Europe. The Africa Korps foot troops were more than ably supported by the dreaded '88' (8.8 cm flak) gun as a direct fire weapon and the ubiquitous Tank IV was developed into what the British troops referred to as the 'Pz IV special' - a tank the British tank commanders learnt to fear and respect in equal. Battles at El Alamein, Tobruk and Gazala honed their fighting capability, pushing the British High Command into changes that would bring eventual victory in the desert campaign. Supplied with a variety of headgear and weapon options Warlord Games' highly detailed and dynamically posed Africa corps are ideal for fighting in North Africa as well as into the Tunisian and the Italian campaigns. Africa corps set contains: Enough plastic components to make 30 German Africa corps miniatures. Includes a host of options to allow for different weapon configurations and command models.
