For three years, Axis and Allied forces chased each other over the hostile terrain of the North African desert. The tide turned in the Allies' favour at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. British General Montgomery spent months building up an overwhelming advantage in men and armour, before launching his attacks against Field Marshal Rommel's German and Italian troops. Winston Churchill was convinced that the battle of El Alamein marked the turning point in the war and ordered the ringing of church bells all over Britain. As he said later: "Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat". If you collect all 12 models in Civilians at War, Heroes, Leaders and Special Forces ranges (released July ‘06 to June ‘07) you can send off for your free replica Campaign Medal. Full details inside each pack.
