      "The Desert Rats are the only thing standing in the way of Axis conquest of North Africa. Despite suffering repeated defeats at the hands of Rommel's Afrika Korps, they remain undaunted. Their speedy Crusader and Honey tanks can run circles around their opposition, backed up by the heavier Grant squadrons. Their motorised infantry are equally adept in attack or defence. With support from the Royal Artillery and the Desert Air Force, they are a formidable and versatile force. Desert Rats is an A4 hardback, full-colour 44-page book covering the British forces fighting North Africa during 1942-1943."--publisher's website

      "The German Afrika Korps is a hard-fighting force of tough veteran troops who have won many battles and expect to win many more. Their Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks outclass the British tanks they face, and have been steadily upgraded to maintain their edge over the opposition. Their infantry are organised to have 'few men, many weapons', so they pack a ferocious punch whether facing infantry or tanks. These are backed by the famous '88' dual-purpose anti-tank/anti-aircraft gun and the Stuka dive bomber. Afrika Korps is an A4 hardback, full-colour 40-page book covering the German forces fighting in North Africa during 1942-1943."--publisher's website

These soldiers, the third generation of British soldiers to stand watch on the North German Plain, quickly proved their mettle. With the release of Iron Maiden, the British are coming to Team Yankee.
