elcome to a ‘Special’ version of
Military Modelling Volume 47,
Issue 4 which on this occasion
focusses on the 75th Anniversary of the
Battles of El Alamein. As we all know,
it was a crucial, tide-turning campaign
which saw the Allies suddenly step from
the back foot to the front. Traditionally an
AFV Special slot, I thought it would make
a change to concentrate on a particular
event and, with 100 pages to play with, I
have taken advantage of the extra space
to present you with 13 quality articles by
a range of authors, some familiar and a
couple new. I realise that this may seem a
little early to some with regard to the dates
of the two Battles of El Alamein but, all
being well, I also may be able to create a
second ‘special’ in the slot that was once
occupied by the Euromilitaire Special this
coming November.
Even with a mag this size there is so
much more I wanted to include such as
the artillery, the multiple soft-skins and
diverse range of armoured cars, half-tracks
and light vehicles that were involved in the
colossal toing and froing conflict which,
by the time it had come to an end, had
lasted for nearly three years. In that time,
the Axis forces had dominated the bulk of
Europe and North Africa and by the end
were retreating and defending on all fronts.
It really was one of the most important
theatres of war during the Second World
War and the sacrifice made by British,
Australian, New Zealand, South African,
Indian and Greek troops, not to mention
the equally high losses for the German and
Italian forces, should never be overlooked.
Please send me a message at
contribeditor@militarymodelling.com

interested in within these hallowed pages.
