I'm honored to have some of my Afrika Korps miniatures featured in one of my favorite rules authors Daniel Mersey's latest book A Wargamers's Guide to The Desert War 1940-1943 available on Amazon and at other fine retailers.
It's humbling to see miniatures you have painted in the same company with Michael Perry of Perry Miniatures, Wargames Illustrated and Big Lee himself! (If you have not seen Big Lee's Miniature Adventures, you are in for a treat!)

If you want to see the other photos, you have to buy Dan's book! Here
is the summary: Continuing this exciting new series of guides for
wargamers, Dan Mersey
gives a wargamer's perspective on the North African campaign of World
War II. Dan gives an overview of events from the opening British
successes against the Italians, to the famous duels between Monty and
the Rommel (the Desert Fox), right up to the US-led invasion of
Operation Torch and the eventual defeat of the Afrika Korps, and offers
advice on how to recreate these on the gaming table. Daniel Mersey
discusses factors to consider when choosing an appropriate set of
commercially available rules, or devising your own, to best suit the
scale and style of battle you want and to capture the flavour of the
period. The relevant ranges of figures and vehicle models are also
reviewed. Analysis of the forces involved, organization, tactics and
strategies will help with building your armies and there are interesting
scenarios included. Whether this is a new period for you, or you are
looking to refresh your existing interest in the period, this handy
guide is sure to hold much if interest for you.
