- Join the Allies Tournament - 21 October 2021
The Order of Battle “Allies” tournament will start on October 27th. The tournament features three scenarios, the last two of them brand new. All battles are fictional to keep the maps more balanced, but they also reflect the course of the Allied campaigns in North Africa and in Italy 1942-43. • Sandstorm at the Oasis (August 1942) - In this scenario, the British have to battle both German and Italian Forces on a desert map, while periodically occurring Sandstorms pose additional challenges to each side. • GIs vs. Bersaglieri (January 1943) - This new scenario depicts American and Italian forces in a struggle for control of a few important roads through the Atlas mountain chain in Tunisia. The map is a mix of mostly desert, rough desert, hills, and mountains, so movement is limited to certain paths and needs to be planned carefully. • Muddy Beachheads (September 1943) - British and Ameri…

M3 Scout Car The lightly armored vehicle was developed by the White Motor Company, which produced several types of armored cars, albeit in low numbers, during the 1930s. These developments led to the creation of the M2A1, which finally went into US Army service as M3 Scout Car in 1938. The improved M3A1 became the most produced variant and was built from 1939-44 in over 20000 pieces. The vehicle was fast and robust, though its cross-country capability was considered limited.
