The Desert Rats are the only thing standing in the way of Axis conquest of North Africa. Despite suffering repeated defeats at the hands of Rommel’s Afrika Korps; they remain undaunted. Their speedy Crusader and Honey tanks can run circles around their opposition; backed up by the heavier Grant squadrons. Their motorised infantry are equally adept in attack or defence. With support from the Royal Artillery and the Desert Air Force; they are a formidable and versatile force.
The M3 Stuart Light Tank is the first American-made tank supplied to the British Army under the lend-lease programme. One of its intended roles was infantry support. But to the British; infantry tanks are slow and heavily armoured; so the Honey is employed in the same way as the British-built cruisers. Compared with earlier British-designed tanks; it is much less prone to breaking down—so reliable that its drivers call it a ‘Honey’.
