Has anyone read this book?
Is it worth a read as I am interested in recreating a table top BKC 2 game for CombeForce, including Beda Fomm and the Pimple etc and destruction of Italian 10th army?

is it detailed enough re troop and squadron numbers? would be useful to know.

thanks

Andy

OK, I'll probably just get it, hopefully not too many big words in it!

I've a copy and it is very good. The Op Crusader stuff is superb - bordering on "funny" on occasion if that's possible. I'm not sure if it'll be as detailed as you want - but the £3.31 you can't go wrong.

I'd say indispensable if you're wargaming this period. But as others have said, the detail is not really down to small unit level. Just a great read and will extend your understanding of the period.
