Overview:

On the afternoon of June 10th, Italy declared war upon France and England. At a single stroke, the fight had leapt beyond the confines of Europe to become a "world" conflict. On the 16th, two troops of B Squadron, 11th Hussars, were patrolling the frontier when one of the drivers spotted an Italian column of tanks and trucks, loaded with infantry, moving north along the track on the Libyan side toward Fort Capuzzo. This was reported by radio to the Squadron HQ, even as the leader of the second troop spotted another column eastbound on a converging course. Altogether, the British now had 29 Italian tanks and 70 trucks in view. The Squadron CO ordered an immediate withdrawal. But the first troop had already moved through a gap in the frontier wire and opened fire on the Italians.
Attacker: British (B Squadron, 11 Hussars)
Defender: Italian (LX Battaglione Carri L, 62° Divisione Fanteria "Marmarica")

2024-04-27(D) Will Willow vs Andy Beaton Italian win
2024-04-27(A) Andy Beaton vs Will Willow Italian winThere were just too many little Italian machines running around like cockroaches and they were killing me faster than I could stamp on them. Having ATR's as my best AT weapon didn't help.
2022-09-05(A) Eric Topp vs Jim Bert British winMy British armoured cars knocked out a couple of trucks and an Italian tankette. After that they hid behind the hillock away from the Italian Gun
2022-05-23(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Italian win
2022-05-23(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Italian winAs the Italians, I moved my trucks off the board as quickly as possible. My tanks were in the center of the formation along with the truck towing the 65 ARTY. I got the gun into action and it would take out three armored cars in the course of the battle. Dan would get some kills and finish the game and get some victory points, but not 6 more than the Italians had inflicted in CVP. So an Italian victory.
