The British Forces Expansion
Seller delivered on time and with item well packaged - the expansion for Memoir 44 adds British desert forces to your games - tan coloured troops - tanks and artillery units similar in number to the core box but modelled on British unit designs. Ideally you will enjoy adding the desert board expansion and terrain pack to get better value from this expansion overall - several might be needed if you plan to play breakthrough maps or the DDay expansion set, but this is enough for one player on a standard or overlord style set up. Also included is British commonwealth rules and additional tokens.

Great game, sent really quickly
Great game, sent really quickly, recommended seller and game. Game can take only an hour (unlike Axsis and Allies) and suitable for ages from 9-10 upwards.

Memoir 44 Mediterranean desert pack
Good choice of tank (Crusader) and artillery (25 pounder field gun) and some desert war flavour rules.

The weakest of the Memoir44 expansions, but still worth having.
I love Memoir44 with a passion and have already played through all the core game and Pacific expansion scenarios and I have to say as much as I love the game Richard Borg seems to have a bit of an axe to grind against the British. Having played this on both sides with numerous people, apart from one scenario, the Brits always have a disadvantage due to their national characteristics rules which don't really offer any useful game mechanic and their awful tanks..Now I know we can start arguing about the effectiveness of British armour in North Africa, however Mr Borg decided not to reflect the massive short comings of American armour when pitted against far superior German armour in Northern Europe. So I don't understand why he chose to start doing it here. I actually applauded his efforts in the base game for keeping it even, as it made for a better game.That aside. The game itself is still great game and much fun has been had with it. While myself and my opponent felt that the Brits seemed to have the rougher deal in most of the scenarios, they were all still a real blast to play. This is the only reason I'd give it 4 rather than 5 stars as having played the amazing Pacific battles which do a great job of making the different factions feel very different. With the Pacific you feel your opponent is stronger until you swap sides. Then you realise you feel the same. With this expansion however you feel you are weaker with one side, swap and that feeling was confirmed.Still buy it, suck it up and try to win.
