Take A Trip Into The Blue!

An extensive history of the Italian invasion of Egypt  and the British response: Operation Compass, the Five-Day Raid that turned into a campaign.

Set between June 1940 and early February 1941, the booklet contains twenty-three unique scenarios for I Ain’t Been Shot, Mum! including attacks, counter-attacks, encounter battles, desperate defences, and the types of action typical of desert warfare: tank vs tank and tank vs gun battles.

From the 11th Hussars’ initial reconnaissance and harassment missions; through to the assaults on the network of Italian camps in the Western Desert; the Australian assaults on Bardia, Tobruk and Derna; and on to the thrilling climax at Beda Fomm, you’ll encounter British, Australians and Italians of all shapes and sizes.

Each scenario contains a background history, maps, a full game briefing, and a full briefing for each player. Simply print out the pages you need, unpack your figures, set up the table, and away you go!
