The British 8th Army faced new, deadly enemies - the Deutsches Afrika Korps, led by the charismatic commander Erwin Rommel. This led to a series of operations where both Allied and Axis forces were pushed back hundreds of miles, only to regain territories in legendary battles such as El Alamein, Tobruk, and Beda Fomm. With victory in North Africa, the fighting continued into Tunisia and further into the heart of Italy itself.

Facing brutally hot daytime temperatures, suffocating dust, and freezing nights, the 8th Army became known as the 'Desert Rats' - a nickname adopted from the 7th Armoured Division, a key component of the Western Desert Force. With our Bolt Action - British 8th Army Infantry, you can now recreate these historical battles on a game table, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation for the challenges these soldiers faced.
