Libya 1941 The Battle of Kufra
The Battle of Kufra was fought during World War II between Free French forces and the Italians for the strategic but isolated oasis at Kufra.
About this creation
The Battle of Kufra was fought as part of the Western Desert Campaign for control of the oasis at Kufra in southeastern Libya. During the colonial period the Italians had constructed a WWI style fort at El Tag on a rise overlooking Kufra.

Several skirmishes were fought in the desert before the Free French forces laid siege to the fort. At the time an inexperienced reserve Captain commanded the fort and surrendered on March 1, 1941 and were permitted to withdraw to the north leaving the fort, oasis, and all it's supplies to the victoriois French.

This depicts the French assulting the Fort at El Tag

Great! As others have said, though, you need BrickArms. But it is a great battle scene, in fact so great that you have inspired me to create my own Free French battle...

Nice! The only thing I suggest is getting brickarms. I think all you would need is the WWII weapon pack and that would cover you. But the scenery is outstanding!

If I had to give this a rating, I would say a 9.5/10 because I think that Brickarms would make them look better.
