The first desert raiders mod scenario, "Hit and Run," is available to try out:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RAjBjiBULk14eNA3nXO2uA06Ee6WytVs
It's not an "official" scenario, so it hasn't been extensively tested or play-balanced.
It's designed to be played solo.
Please post AARs, feedback...
Someone suggested this:
How about you designate that your units can stealth in open terrain at half speed until an alarm is sounded, either from a spotting attempt or a die roll when adjacent?
I was thinking of something more like this:
On Allied impulses, Stealth-move in open in LOS of a...
6.4 Stealth Movement says a SM-capable unit can move without being automatically spotted, "even if adjacent to an enemy unit."
But the rule goes on to say a SM-capable unit is automatically spotted if it moves into open terrain in the LOS of a Good-Order enemy unit.
At night, in open terrain...
Someone pointed out that the LnLT system was designed to include only about 1/3 of the actual support weapons that a unit at this scale would have had. I don't know if that's true, but you might want to bear this in mind and reduce the SWs accordingly when you use this aid. That will also reduce...
Here's a 7-page play aid showing the Orders of Battle for Axis troops when your desert raiders campaign generates a battle.
The OOBs are organized for garrisons, patrol forces, pursuit forces and the Italian Saharan Force. Each type of OOB comes in German or Italian versions and in three sizes...
Broadsword56 updated Heroes of North Africa Desert Raiders Print and Play Mod with a new update entry:
HoNA desert raiders mod print-and-play countersheets VERSION 2
Read the rest of this update entry...
Here is a play aid for a campaign using HoNA and the desert raiders counters with Decision Games' Long Range Desert Group.
When you select your Allied forces for a campaign mission, this aid shows you what what each campaign-level counter means in HoNA and how many Reserve Recruit Points it...
Thanks, Rydo!
These POW counters are new and are my own invention.
Two ways I envisioned using them:
1. Since it is possible for units to surrender in LnLT (Rule 5.1, when Shaken units are engaged in a Melee and no other friendly, GO, Melee Eligible units are with them, they surrender), it...
Thanks Ralph! That means a lot especially coming from you, given that you designed and developed HoNA and made most of its scenarios!
I'm sure we'd all love to hear any ideas that you come up with for playing with these, or how your own games turn out.
You can find a lot of content online for "Flames of War" miniatures that is historically informative, readily adaptable to LnLT and can give you some fun scenarios to use for your desert raiders counters. One of the things I like about these missions is that they're about a type of situation as...
One note about some special new corner triangles on vehicle counters:
As we know, vehicles always move in the direction that the triangle points to.
Usually in LnLT, that triangle is red and it means the vehicle moves and fires in that covered arc.
But in this counterset, you'll also see some...
These print-and-play countersheets (2-sided, 6 files in all, to make 3 countersheets total) add light raiding forces to Heroes of North Africa.
Before mounting the printed sheets, I recommend trimming off the white borders (at least the top and one side) to help you align the front and back...
Broadsword56 submitted a new resource:
HoNA desert raiders mod print-and-play countersheets - 3 Custom countersheets that add LRDG, SAS, Italian Autosaharan and more to Heroes of North Africa.

I think it looks fantastic. Great work, Rydo!
3D boardgame apps like Tabletop Simulator and Tabletopia are wonderful because they approximate the experience of a physical game far more than VASSAL, Cyberboard, etc. You get a tactile experience, the lighting and graphics are ideal, the...
Great idea, Nick. I really like the idea of shared fan-made mods and enhancements that can help us get even more value from the official LnL titles we buy. And some of the better ones might even become official some day.
Miniatures systems have been doing campaigns with linked and generated scenarios very successfully for a long time. Just yesterday I came across a terrific-looking "Raiding Aces" campaign from Flames of War that could just as easily be used to manage linked battles with LnL Heroes of North...
Example of a British Long Range Desert Group custom counter I made for my Heroes of North Africa.
This heavily armed Ford or Chevy 30cwt truck has powerful mounted MGs on 360-degree pivot mounts, is fairly fast, and has Hit & Run movement.
