Inside this box, you get a force of Italians and British, ready to kick off some Mid-War battles from World War II. You also get the rules and more!
Which side would you pick?
Great video, I do miss your armour waffle on these videos and looking into mid war is very appealing. Have you thought of doing a slow grow or battle box and beyond with Jerry or Justin even if it is just chat.
a great looking box I’m surprised the didn’t go for an ausy force in Tabuk box.
This is a pairing i would not of thought of, and one back in my younger year`s i would not of given a second thought about. Liking the box art, and i would consider getting this box set just to try out the Italians and see how they play.
Would have thought that perhaps doing the early war with the British having Crusaders and perhaps a Valentine or Matilda or two would have been a better match up than adding the Grants and Shermans (all of which were American Lend Lease tanks) for the Italians in the box. And as ever “WHERE’S THE INFANTRY” for the starter boxes (start the player off in the right way with having infantry in the box for combined arms warfare rather than making the game “Tanks only” (as Battlefront is seemingly steering players towards (probably because it’s easier/cheaper to pack the boxes perhaps)).
….and YES a follow up video on the history from John would be welcome (we haven’t had much discussion/exposure for this from BoW for a while now (it’s all been about the minis and not enough about the rules and history they are supposed to reflect (although to be fair BoW is more of a fantasy and sci-fi website with the historical side of things tacked on)).
I wonder why they give the Italians 88mm instead of their excellence 87mm
Thank you to everyone, my winning copy of the Tobruk box set arrived this afternoon. I look forward to unboxing it ?
