| Milites Gregarius | Post; WW2 - the conflict in the north africa before Romel was sentI find it very difficult to find out how in detail the british defeated the italian armies - if you have useful links please post them here. If also a discussion is born abotu these not very popular events of WW2 it'll be great. |

| Centurion | You're right, most sites gloss over the early part of the North African Campaign and focus on Rommel and the DAK. After a little research, I came up with: http://www3.sympatico.ca/ergrenier/Africa.html http://www.italianfront.com (commercial site that sells uniforms, insignia and history books) http://www.naval-history.net/WW2Camp...orthAfrica.htm (naval info) You might also try buying the Osprey title The Italian Army 1940-45: Africa 1940-43 (Men-At-Arms series). It proably has much more than most of the websites I looked at. Available thru Osprey, Amazon or your local hobby shop. Enjoy
