Avernos, the Desert Squirrel.
Anti-Tank
For early war the anti-tank rifle was king, but in the escalation of arms it was quickly rendered obsolete. Here in the Western Desert though a 39 point veteran weapon team will take out transports with ease, those pesky Bren carriers will be less likely to barrel forwards and smaller tankettes may think twice. For the infantry tanks though you’ll need to go bigger.
the 5cm PAK 38, weighing in at 90 points for a veteran team that price will get you an anti tank gun that even the heavily armoured British infantry tanks will tip toe around. With a 60″ range you’ll out-range opposing tanks, deploy last if you can and tuck into a corner, to make full use of your range. Engage the tanks on your terms, while you have a gun shield to offer some protection to the crew I find it better to protect a flank with some form of terrain, a building or large rock. If you can don’t give them a clear line of sight to you.
