Bolt Action II Duel in the Sun Escalation Campaign
The
campaign will feature force lists drawn from the Duel in the Sun supplement,
Tunisia, the Rommel’s Defeat theater selector. The idea is to encourage people to
paint an army at a pace to keep up with the campaign. If you don’t want
to paint a new army, that works too, though, the units you field still have to
come from the list below.

•Rommel’s
Defeat Reinforced Platoon (Armies of Germany).

in Africa Reinforced Platoon (Armies of Italy and the Axis).

of victory points as well as a team (Axis/Allies) points. So there will
be both an individual victor and a “side” victor.
