The "Sting of the Scorpion" box has the same booklet and a complete LRDG force as well as a full set of objectives and sentries for the Raid mission, and a set of specific LRDG "scorpion" dice.
We first introduced games using reconnaissance forces in Flames Of War with the revised reconnaissance rules and Recon Mission in Old Ironsides (and now in Stars & Stipes) and expanded on it in the first printing of Desert Rats with the LRDG, SAS and the Raid Mission.
LRDG Desert Raiders Force:
Major RA Bagnold (Royal Signals) had spent the years between the wars exploring the vast sand seas of the western desert, so when the Italians attacked Egypt in 1940, he formed the Long Range Desert Group, the LRDG, to find out what they were up to in the deep desert.
For the next three years there were only a few days when the LRDG wasn't operating behind enemy lines. Most of their work was observing the enemy's strength and dispositions but, when necessary, they undertook more aggressive operations to capture oases and raided enemy airfields and supply dumps.
They transported "parashots", as they called the SAS, on many of their raids, sneaking in to place bombs and generally wreak havoc.
We liked the idea of reconnaissance focused games so much we decided to make it easier for you to get into.
All you need is some suitable bad guys, Afrika Korps or Italians (coming in August), and one of these great boxes and you can get your raiding underway. |
