Overview:

The 4th Armoured Brigade, probing northeast of Gabr Saleh, was driving a German recon unit before it. The Afrika Korps at last reacted, quickly forming several units of the 21st Panzer Division into Kampfgruppe Stephan which set out to investigate the reports of the British tanks. The Kampfgruppe located the tail-end regiment of the 4th’s and attacked. Cries for help brought the 5th RTR which arrived before dark and immediately counterattacked. . .
Attacker: British (5th Battalion, RTR, 4th Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Division)

2022-07-25(A) James Holt vs Steve Dedier German winStarted working through the Hollow Legions scenarios this week. Started with an oldie but goodie 35 Blazin' Chariots. I had the Brits and Steve D had the Germans. This scenario plays very quickly (as in TWO turns it was over). Loads of fun. A complete dice fest, but good practice with AFVs. The Germans lost three tanks but then went on main armament rate tears with low enough TK rolls to decimate the onrushing British. Red TH numbers and sun blindness really have a strong effect in this one. I sort of got the right tactic in my planning, but failed in the execution. You've got to flank the Germans and neutralize the sun blindness penalty if at all possible. I almost did that but stopped half my tanks to get good prep and defensive fire shots. He repositioned just enough to hold the center and pick my guys off at long range. Can play this one over and over and it would be great fun each time.
2022-05-16(A) Eric Topp vs Jim Bert British winJim had some bad luck when he malf-ed the MA of the Pz IIIH containing his 9-1 armor leader. My British Honeys took advantage and knocked out all the Pz IIIH and Pz IIIG by turn 3
