If you're interested in doing some watching around the Desert War then you can check out the BBC Program, SAS: Rogue Warriors which talks about, in the first episode, how the SAS was formed out there in the heat.
You Can Find It Here...

Let us know if you have any other awesome resources that we can mine for Desert Warfare stories.
BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. 🙁
Ah man I’m sorry – will see if I can find it elsewhere as well!
I would love to know what everyone’s favorite desert warfare book and reference source for modeling is. My favorite desert warfare book is a one set in a modern conflict called “The heights of Courage”. An incredible armor warfare book. I haven’t painted a lot of desert stuff so looking for good reference material WHat do you think??????
It’s on you tube
=P No love for us Canadians…
However… Found it on YouTube:

Thank’s for setting up a link for us Canadians!
er.. might need to watch the ‘rat patrol’ tv series lol.. yea.
Very interesting
Hope we get to see a platoon of these bad asses in flames of war 🙂
These guys are awesome did the Germans have an equivalent, I know about the fallshirmjagers but we’re theye the closest to SAS
The Brandenburgers might fit the spot

A very cool outfit!
youtube FTW!
The raiders caused issues out of all proportion to their numbers, tying up troops in an effort to guard lines of communication and airfields, supply depots and so on
Freakin awesome video. i am going to binge watch the whole series.
I wonder if Battlefront plans to update Raiding Aces for V4. I hope so.
Great stuff, I still have the old Sting of the Scorpion set in my stash, hopefully I get to use it in a future supplement!
Ooooo, nice set to have stashed would have loved a copy of it myself but was oop long before I got into flames…
The bbc also did a thing called the peoples war. It’s a great resource with reall war stories and diaries as told by the troops who were there.

Excellent programme really well done.
My grandfather on my Dads side was in the LRDG and then transferred to the SAS.
A great read is ‘The Long Range Desert Group 1940-1945: Providence Their Guide’ by David Lloyd-Owen, former commander of the LRDG. Covers all of their actions during the war from Africa to the Aegean to the Balkans.
Interesting. The sas and lrdg were always cool armies in mid war v3.
Played Italian Autosahariana in V3 “Raiding Aces” loads of fun. Hoping they do a V4 treatment so these unique armies can still be played
Nice , some real history
Rat Patrol for sure, raids are always fun,
Cool stuff here
Cool, I’ll have to watch this tonight.
thx for links guys,
