Very nice Alexander.

From what I've read about the Grant Tank given to Russia for Lend Lease,is that the Russian tank crews were not very impressed with the Grant and didn't like it.

I'm not surprised though,because the American crews didn't like the tank either.

It doesn't surprise me that the Americans quickly replaced it with the Sherman after the Tunisian campaign.

Dane do you have any sources on indivual actions in Late dec42 - early March 43 for tunisia?  Most of the stuff I know is of the general type. 

Flashburn,
 "An Army at Dawn",by Rick Atkinson.
This a very well written 1st class book and excellent read for personal accounts from all the participants(Allied and Axis) from the lowest soldier to the top decision makers for the 1942-3 North African campaign.This book really puts this campaign into an easy to read and understand perspective and most likely my favorite book on this subject.

Atkinson wrote 2 other books also 1 on Sicily and another about the the Italian campaign,but an Army at Dawn is the one I liked best out of the Mediteranean campaign trilogy.

Exit Rommel and Kasserine are few other books that offer some individual accounts of some of the battles also.

This is an excerpt from an Army at dawn that I was able to locate on the internet.

As much as i would like Graviteam do a Afrika campaign, i really hope they will stick to the eastern front for now atleast, but maybe in the future?

Don't worry I don't think Graviteam plans on leaving the Russian front or doing any DLCs for this game that doesn't include Russians in it.

I think FB is trying to generate some modding interest in the North African campaign.

Its our inner code, like K43T for APOS, or MTC80 for SABOW, you can see it in main directory name of this future project.
