British 8th Army
The 8th Army was a British unit comprising troops from throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth. They first went into battle to relieve the besieged city of Tobruk, and their actions would prove pivotal at a number of key battles throughout the North African and Italian campaigns - including the battles for El Alamein and on through Libya and into Tunisia - and took part in the invasion of Sicily and up through Italy.
Using the support from their Valentine tanks, M3 Grants, Crusaders, Morris Armoured Cars, and mobility from M5 halftracks and Bedford trucks, the 8th Army is a force to be reckoned with upon the tabletop in Bolt Action - the historical World War II wargame.
