Scenario 76 - Tigers roam Africa : Djedeida, Tunisia, 28th November 1942

Situation - On 23rd November 1942, the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion, The Stalking Tigers, arrived in Tunisia. Initially consisting of only 3 Tigers and 4 supporting PzKpfw IIIN tanks, the force was organised, along with other units, into Kampfgruppe Lueder and began operating almost immediately in the area of Djedeida-Tebourba.

On November 28, Kampfgruppe Leuder repulsed a heavy attack by Blade Force, a Battlegroup comprised of elements from British 6th Armoured and 78th Infantry Divisions, supported by several American units.

Kampfgruppe Leuder was disbanded on December 4, after capturing Tebourba, losing all their Tigers in the process.

Just a reminder to everyone that the weekend of December 5th and 6th is the Marcher Weekend. It is an open weekend for anyone to organise their own games although there will, hopefully, be one big historical game on for multiple players.

Interested in getting into Warhammer: The Old World?
On 27th September, the Shrewsbury Wargames Society Old World players are hosting a 750-point Battle March Game Day—the perfect entry point for new players! The day is free for members, £10 for non-members.
There are plenty of spaces available, and if you’re new to the game, I’ll make sure you’re paired with someone who is happy to teach you the ropes and help you learn as you play.
Check out the rules using the link below, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I’m hoping to grow the SWS Old World community, and we’d love to have you join us!

Announcement to All Members !
Here at last – the SWS Boardgaming Initiative goes live.
Purpose: to promote to all members and play military / strategy boardgames at our glorious clubhouse within Pimley Manor, Shrewsbury.
First off, we need to know which boardgames are already owned by members that they would like to play and, of course when. We’re compiling a database on the website pages that you can contribute to here – https://forms.gle/fQFwFRMqZUMQGQGS8
Please complete the questionnaire so we can get rolling. This form will remain in place so becoming a living document that grows and evolves over time
We’re placing all the information in the Boardgames section found in the SWS website Members Area. This will give us a sustainable, easily accessed central point to discuss and arrange games, together with a directory of game rulesets, player aids etc for you to download.
See you at the tables!
