Another book on WW1 Palestine campaign and an almost complete Arab Rebellion A force

Another book about the WW1 Palestine campaign, "Megiddo 1918" by Bryan Perrett which is published by Osprey. This time it is a second-hand book purchase rather than a borrowed library book. While it covers the latter part of the campaign with the Battle fo Megiddo. In its 90 or so pages it does provide a useful overview of the opposing commanders and their armies, before describing the battle. Interestingly there is a very brief chapter of a couple of pages on wargaming the battle with a few suggested approaches.

A recent second-hand book purchase

A couple more Arab Rebellion units have been painted, including a mountain gun. There is one more infantry unit and a machine gun to paint before the force will be considered complete.

The mountain gun added to support the force.

  1. Your games and figures look great. Is there a summary of the rules you are using anywhere on your blog?

    Thanks

  2. I much prefer the hardback Praeger editions to the softback Ospreys. You are building your Palestine armies at a very rapid rate. Great job!

  3. I love these older Osprey books and especially the ones with some notes re: wargaming the action, which can be useful. As always a lovely force you have there Peter:).
