1533X2 Chevy

Thanks guys, some interesting thoughts. I haven't yet had much of a chance to work with the scenario editor, but I should be able to take some much needed R&R over the Christmas period. That said, I can see how difficult it could be to recreate a surprise raid. Note that the Italians did know that the LRDG was approaching Barce on the day of the raid (they had been spotted by a recon aircraft); in spite of that they were still unprepared! And I take it that the aircraft don't just sit lined up on the ground to be shot-up and bombed?? Now, if I could find some kind person to devise some 30 cwt, India pattern, Canadian built Chevrolet 1533x2s as modified for the LRDG...

Gidday from New Zealand. And because I am so new to the game and to this page...a question right off! 1)The Long Range Desert Group played a vital role throughout the North African series of campaigns. I'm wondering about the possibility of creating a scenario based on the 'Barce Raid' of September 1942, when the LRDG attacked the barracks and airfield. The opposing forces were mainly Italian AB-41 armoured cars, light tankettes and aircraft (during the withdrawl phase most of the LRDG's vehicles were destroyed by Fiat CR 42s). Q) How would I go about creating such a scenario? Any thoughts? TIA Jeff W. :cool:
