Brickskrieg: British Desert Rats Motorised Artillery

This box set includes 3x Bedford Trucks and 3x 25pdrs

British motorised artillery in WWII was designed for flexible, reliable fire support, using vehicles like Bedford QL to tow guns such as the Ordnance QF 25-pounder.

These units could quickly deploy, deliver accurate indirect fire, and then reposition as needed. The 25-pdr was highly versatile, capable of both high-explosive bombardment and anti-tank fire in emergencies, making it a backbone of British artillery.

In tabletop wargames, British motorised artillery provides consistent, adaptable fire support. It excels at softening enemy positions and supporting advances, though it depends on protection from infantry or armour.

Within an army, it acts as a dependable support element—enhancing overall firepower, shaping the battlefield, and enabling other units to manoeuvre effectively.
