Reply To: WW2 North African terrain

I think that one of the features of N Afrika was the 88, or the 76(r) sweeping the battlefield.

Have vehicles kick up dust.
Have visibility change during the day. I have been in deserts where the midday mirage made anything outside 300m chancy in the extreme.

Have lots of minor ridgelines and dry gullies. I was once shagging a girl from the roadhouse and naturally, checked before we started, by the time we finished there was a shepherd 200m away watching us curiously. He and 200 goats had appeared out of nowhere.

Go easy on the ’88s

Remember, an 88 kicks up a lot of dust, particularly if its dug in. All those RA 25 pdrs will get in there.
