Overview:

The famed Desert Rats were on the move. Heading for the African coast through the Saleh/Beda Fomm area, they planned to set up ambush positions against the large Italian motorized columns retreating from Benghazi towards Tripoli. The 2nd Royal Tank Regiment took up positions on a large hillock bisected by the only road to Tripoli and dotted with graveyards. A short time after their arrival, two single decker buses appeared from the road from Benghazi. They were stopped, the civilians sent away, and the buses positioned as roadblocks.

2023-09-20(A) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'ArchevequeA Italian winBrit forgot to CE tanks at start. Italians used vehicle dust to screen trucks and infantry. Unhooked AT guns on turn 2. Brit shooting at tanks could have been better. MA breaks hurt the Brits. AT guns killed some tanks. Italians cleared nearest hillock on turn five. Brit conceded.
2022-05-08(D) wayne baumber vs British win
2020-07-30(A) wayne baumber vs Graham Smith British winA little foray into the desert, first wind change die roll for the Allies resulted in High Winds, goodbye vehicle dust cover and my cunning plan of using platoon movement to cover the infantry advance. Needles to say the British tanks had a field day against the Italian tanks and the only surprise was I had enough forces to make a penultimate turn attack on the objective, mind you I was using gun crews to bolster the attack I managed to capture the hill and sanger's but was unable to clear the hillock completely.
2020-05-16(D) Shane Pask vs Italian winAt the start I knew infantry was the key as tanks could not claim the hillocks but still went after the tanks and lost. Some good rolls by the Italians and passive tactics by me saw both hillocks lost and only 1 A13 and Cpl Derrick left resisting.
The scenario says guns enter in tow but chapter H says both these guns should be porteed at the time. I brought the guns in porteed in the larger trucks.
