Future plans for Bolt Action - The 2nd battle of El Alamein.

I haven't even started my first army but I know what I want to do for my 2nd. A mid-war Commonwealth army of the 2nd battle of El Alamein.

What draws me to it is I can use some of my 1st Bolt Action army, and it's a combined army of nearly every Commonwealth nation. Australia, New Zealand, Indian, Scottish, British, Polish, Free French, American Armour (including Sherman's(!), Crusaders, Grants and Matilda's) and others. I feel like I would need 1 platoon of each for a full multi-national army. Not very historical, but it would work as a theme.

This is the best TV documentary I've found of it - made 50 years afterwards and on location. Gives a great demonstration of the actual terrain of the battle. There is video of the actual buildings like Rommel's headquarters I can copy and build, the trees, ground and villages.

The pieces to camera of the soldiers is a bit naff but I hope/assume they are actual writings from the battle. It could have used some Axis accounts but it goes through a lot. 

 

I give it a 4 out of 5 starts.  5/5 for a TV doco, but You Tubers can do it better, but can't go on the actual location!
