Pz III "Resil" and leFH "Skill.Rcn." were deployed in the southeast (i wished there was a third DH). Together with the aux FlaMG and Sahariano they operated along the map border until reaching Abu Hummus (67,35). There they turned west to Kafr el Dauwar (55,32).
Meanwhile, SdKfz 251/10, 251/9 and 222, the grenadiers, 1x infantry and non-leadered leFH joined the remaining southern auxes to conquer the area south of Lake Maryut and link up with the smaller group at Kafr.

, because 0 ground units had crossed the El Mahmudiya Canal yet (Air Transports are available, but i am going to playtest the campaign without airborne operations). However, once you're past the Canal everything goes faster - especially if you have (half)tracked and/or fast (10 speed) wheeled/allterrain vehicles, and if you are more patient/planning than me with resupplying your units.
The Pz III H actually raised "Aggressive Attack" as leader - i changed for experimental purposes.
