Overview:

As Rommel’s first offensive pushed across Cyrenaica, the British fighting withdrawal became a rout. Those forces falling back along the northern and southern edges of the Djebel Akhdar gravitated to the seaside town of Derna, where the coast road climbed the escarpment and went east to Tobruk. Advance elements of the German 5th Light Division, comprising a MG battalion and the recon battalion, arrived in the Derna area to block this escape route. . .

2020-02-08(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winMy British got crushed early and often as I tried running straight down the blacktop road. I bogged lots of boys in the shell hole hex and had to send my armor a different route that took way too much time. By the end of 3 turns, I gave the concession.
