Overview:

During the tedious days of confining the Axis to their ring of frontier fortresses around Halfaya, HQ 4th South African Infantry Brigade authorized a small operation to eliminate an enemy forward position. This strongpoint, manned by mostly Italian troops of the 55th Savona Divisione, was making a nuisance of itself by firing on Allied reconnaissance patrols. B Company, 2nd Royal Durban Light Infantry was assigned to the task of "removing" it.
Attacker: South African (No. 9 Platoon, 2nd Company, 2nd Royal Durban Light Infantry (RDLI)/C Troop, A Battery, 2nd S.A. A-T Regiment/A Squadron, 6th S.A. AC Regiment)

The South African roundel in the Turn Record Chart should be in Turn 5 instead of in Turns 3 and 4. The DVP values for the South African vehicles should be listed in red; the 2pdr Portees are worth 4 DVP each and the Marmon-Herrington ACs are worth 3 DVP each.MMP

2021-04-01(A) Shane Pask vs Italian / German winThings did not go my way. Winds started turn 2, then gusts prevented smoke. My OBA was inneffective (did manage to kill his FOO), his wasn't. His sniper was active, mine wasn't. Conceded turn 4 when his armour arrived. Already down 6 VP, with another 2 squads broken. May have rated the scenario a bit higher if I had any luck.
