Site looks awesome, I'd definitly be up for a bit of North Africa action, already got my FJ tropical gear 
I'd suggest a Tunisia 42-43 scenarios so you can have brits, yanks, French (Vichy and Free), Germans and Italians involved!
“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

Personally I think it would be better if it was kept to British (& commonwealth) vs Germans and Italians. To me North Africa was a British campaign and I feel the game should reflect that.
Josh you say you can get suitable look a like Brit gear and the german equivelants are cheap enough (take a look on Epic) so there is no reason why people should be put off by lack of kit. Plus tropical gear is easy to put together as the supply lines of both sides were always chaotic so the use of temperate and captured kit was common. Tropical gear can be mixed and matched with temperate gear people already have to obtain a suitably shambolic look.
You could still base the game around the fighting in Tunisia as Boshman suggest since the site looks a good match for it and it would fit with the rag tag look of the players. I just feel the game would benifit from slightly tighter themeing than you usually opt for.
Be great to have another Candleston....seems everything is oop North or far east at the mo. Nothing anywhere near the west

I would be happy to go brit only and have no probs with sorting guys out with look alike Kit;) I agree about NA being a brit campaign for the most part, these games won't being marketed the same as the D-Day, more in the line of the Secret Missions events

mmm looks interesting mate, just make shore its in summer 
i,m in, i,d like to do an indian army complete with turban, or is it a pugalrie ?? rich let me know mate ??

turban...
a pagri (or pugeree) go on pith helmets and slouch hats. (probably other stuff too)
ahh rich,
found it in one of my flashy books, mountain of light
puggaree is sikh for turban so you can "chubbarao" about slouch hats, you grate big nautch tik hai,
now dount get me rong sirdar, i,m a punkah of yours

havildar warren,
team shoot and scoot, TL
i knew should have baught that LRDG cap badge at pudsey,,,,, it was only 4 quid .
hehe... warren.. no probs! I happy to be enlightened!
It probably derives from something like "head-bandage" or somesuch... lol!
Edit...
Did a google... yup confirms it... though interestingly sometimes it appears that pagri just refers to the material rather than the turban itself... Hmmm...
Site looks better suited to a tobruk style game, with it having quite a few buildings, the Americans predominantly fought in the mountains and in the deserts in north africa, and were there for a short period of time compared to the brits.
