Sanusi’s Little War, Battle of Jebel Medwa 25th Dec. – Devon Wargames Group

[carojon]

We are very fortunate in the DWG to have some folks in the club who have a wider interest than most in some of the more obscure theatres and actions in military history, that allows the rest of us to enjoy a more varied diet of gaming themes in our regular club meet ups.

The following AAR from this month’s meeting of the club is of such a theme, with a bit of historical placement for those less familiar with activities in the Western Desert of the First World War thrown in for good measure.

If you would like to know more then just follow the link to the club blog.

Excellent game and a nice bit of history too:).

The historical material you include in all of your write ups is just fantastic.  I really enjoy it, thank you!

Yes, I agree with everyone else.  Totally fascinating, and I certainly appreciate all the extra effort you put into posting the story.

Hi Chaps,

Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed the read and I will pass on your compliments to Stephen who ran the game and wrote the AAR.

Cheers

The write up really sent me down a rabbit hole last night.  I probably spent about 6 hours reading about all sorts of obscure (to me) pre-WW1, WW1, and U-boat history as well as wartime actions of several aristocrats.  Good stuff.
