Promoting the study of military history through the art of tabletop miniature wargaming

British and Commonwealth Armies 1939-1945: Supplement Volume 2

.

.

by Mark Bevis.

Softcover (8.3×11.7 inches). 87 pages. 2025 reprint of 2024 reprint of 2001 book.

Subtitle: Helion Order of Battle 4

Another five chapters of TO&E for formations divided by theater: North Africa, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Home front, overseas garrisons, and Special Forces.

I know, it’s repetitious, but it’s repetitiously good.

For wargamers with a flair for WWII British forces, here are four OOB volumes down to section level to draw up scenarios. Excellent.

Enjoyed it.
