British 8th Army 25-Pdr & Quad Tractor Forces of GREAT BRITAIN for Bolt Action

Formed from the Western Desert Force in 1941, the British 8th Army comprised men from across the British Commonwealth – British, New Zealanders, Australians, Indians and South Africans. Following early successes against the Italians in North Africa, the 8th Army suddenly faced a new, more deadly foe – the Deutsches Afrika Korps led by their mercurial commander, Erwin Rommel. Thus began a series of operations with Allied and Axis forces being pushed back hundreds of miles only to regain that territory and more with battles at El Alamein, Tobruk and Beda Fomm becoming legendary. With the Allied victory in North Africa, the fighting soon encompassed Tunisia and then the very heartland of Italy itself.

25-Pdr Howitzer & Limber

The 25 pounder was the key howitzer used by the British Army throughout World War 2 and beyond. It was found in every theatre of war.

It was fast firing and hard hitting but also easily manoeuvrable when pulled by a quad tractor and limber. In Bolt Action game this is considered a light artillery gun and is operated by a crew of three.
