1 Frontier Raid loss
FRONTIER RAID June12 1940

Good morning Capitano. Welcome to the Libyan desert. You have been put in command of the Ridotta Capuzo garrison. These local garrison troops are part of the 38th Group Frontier Guards.

We picked up vague rumors of Mussolini having declared war on England and France. That is probably exaggerated, so make your stay in this sea of sand as comfortable as possible.

In case the English do decide to cross the 271km frontier wire - Graziani's wall - between Libya and Egypt, your orders are to hold on to your positions and harass their supply columns (Hint). That should force them to retreat back into Egypt. There is no need to rush into Egypt with your garrison forces. Our counterintelligence units report that the English have excellent recon information of your positions.
The launch is exactly what I expect from this campaign - no fun.
I tried to save the situation by buying an AT unit with [F] property, but it was futile.

2 On to Sidi Barrani tv
ON TO SIDI BARRANI September10 1940

General Graziani told Mussolini that we lack trucks, fuel, ammo, tanks and just about everything else needed to conquer Egypt, but to no avail. We shall put an end to these English raids into Libya and liberate Egypt.

The Libyan Corps will advance along the coastal road while our XXIII Corps - consisting of the 62nd Marmarican and 63rd Cyrene Divisions - will cross the border South of the Libyan Corps.

Maggiore, you are put in command of the - largely motorised - 158th infantry regiment of the 63rd division.

First stop: Sidi Barrani.
The Italians are standing on each other's feet and can't get ahead. Only a few units have viable transportation. Supplies are also a disaster.

3 On to Mersa Matruh tv
ON TO MERSA MATRUH September14 1940

The 62nd Marmarican and 63rd Cyrene are the only divisions that have a reasonable number of trucks still running.

Maggiore, take your regiment and press on to Mersa Matruh. The divisions of the Lybian Corps will follow on foot.
Hello Duce, if you don't have trained soldiers and generals, nor the technology necessary for a fight, then you shouldn't start a war with your neighbors or wherever in the world. Because - many years later designers come up with the idea to make exactly this historical episode playable. To use the finished product, the player should be capable of suffering, not depressed or suicidal.

It was only just before the end that I bought the tankette, or what should we call these tin cans? That is why it is not damaged.

4 A dance with the queen loss
A DANCE WITH THE QUEEN December12 1940

You are now in command of the complete 63rd Cyrene Division that is stationed in Camp Sofafi. Main units in the division are the 157 and 158 infantry regiments and the 45th artillery regiment.

With our fleet crippled by an aerial torpedo attack at Taranto and vital reinforcements and supplies siphoned off to the Greek campaign, there is little more that we can do than sit and wait in our ring of fortresses near Sidi Barrani.

In the last 3 days, the British 7th Armoured Division and the Indian 4th Division have captured all but our Sofafi and Rabia camps. We have lost the 2 Libica Divisions, the Maletti Group, the fourth Camicie Nere Division and the 64th Catanzaro division.

Player notes:
- Four camps in your hands at the end of the scenario will give you a BV, three a V, two a TV and one or zero will result in a loss.
- Please do not reassign (sell) the defensive units that you get. Deploy them on the map.
Success is my faithful companion ... but always with a lot of distance.

5 Fortress at Bardia loss
FORTRESS AT BARDIA January 03 1941

Graziani wanted to give up the Cirenaica, but Comando Supremo ordered him to be more optimistic. He split 10th Army in 3 defensive groups: your division and the rest of XXIII Corps in Bardia, XXII Corps in Tobruk and XX Corps holding the Mechili-Derna line.

Intelligence reports that the 4th Indian division has been redrawn from the front lines and the 6th 'Diggers' Australian division has taken its place.

The attack on Bardia is imminent, but our 4 divisions should be able to repulse the enemy.

Note: Hold on to each of Bardia's defensive positions for as long as possible. A fast enemy advance will demoralize your troops and will lead to a Loss. Do not give up Post 32 (22,21) and the positions surrounding it until after the BV turn limit has passed. Do not give up the positions around hexes (24,16) or (27,7) until after the V turn limit has passed.
What a madness: In the first attempt I successfully defended Post 32 with my core units, but lost my own VH in the north-east to the Royal Navy and the RAF. After that, my core units were also vaporized and I surrendered, restarted.
In the second attempt I bought a fighter, which slightly hindered the RAF and I managed to defend my VH and sink parts of the Royal Navy. Unfortunately the aux units Post 32 did not hold in turnlimit - loss. Another attempt is unacceptable for me.

6 Beda-Fomm loss
BEDA-FOMM February05 1941

Disaster - after Bardia also Tobruk has fallen into English hands and XXII Corps has surrendered.

Your forces are transfered to XX Corps - the remains of 10th Army. General Tellera is in charge of the withdrawal of troops from the Gebel into Sirte. General Babini's armored forces retreated from the El-Mechili area to your area near the coast after they clashed with elements of the 7th Armored Division. They report English columns moving through the desert towards the coast. If we don't move fast, they could cut-off our route of escape.
The aux units that are to capture the two VH's in the south are slowed down by a British range-4-ATY (where are Italian range-4-ATY ???) and then run over by a British tank as if it were a German Tiger. After a few turns they are wiped out and I have to concentrate on the fight for survival of my core units in the north - all close together, protected by the three ATY, many turns have to be survived. But the AI does not attack seriously, drives around and tests my ATY. I have to watch the supply urgently, because some units are standing on sand and there the supply is not secured.

7 Tripoli - A Missed Opportunity v (bv+2)
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY February12 1941

Take command of the Ariete Division that - with the Gruppo Sirte - is all that stands between Campo Tripoli with its 4 weak infantry divisions and O'Connor's forces.

The German Operation Sonnenblume is bringing the 5th Light Division over to North Africa. It's first elements should reach the front a few days from now.

Historic Note:
This scenario is fiction. Churchill stopped O'Connor's offensive after the battle at Beda Fomm so that he could send all available forces to Greece. Only a skeleton force remained in Lybia. It would take more than 2 years before the Allies would get another shot at Tripoli.
The best result so far :-o . That's probably because it was a fictitious scenario. I think a better result is possible if my core was better. I wanted to upgrade the tank, but the prestige was not enough. During the scenario I had to buy two AT to defend my VH - a British tank had fallen into my rear.

Current scenario: Tripoli - A Missed Opportunity, VH prestige is 80 , All map prestige is: 160

Prestige available on map yet is 80 pp ( 0 pp in VH to capture) * Turn: 8

8 Operation Sonnenblume bv-1
OPERATION SONNEBLUME March30 1941

With the 5th Leichte Division in North Africa and trained for desert warfare, Rommel has decided to perform a reconnaissance in force. El Agheila has fallen without much fighting. Next stop is Mersa Brega. Your Ariete division will support the German forces in their reconnaisance.
With the German army comes success. The Italians play no role in this scenario. They are too far away and cannot intervene in the battle within the turn limit - exception: my Fighter.

9 The Benghazi Handicap ltbv
THE BENGHAZI HANDICAP April6 1941

The Western Desert Force is on the run. It was clear soon to the Australians that it was impossible to hold Benghazi.

Rommel is moving 8MG Btn to Derna to try and cut off the retreating Brits and Australians. They will be joined by half of the Brescia division that is moving East along the coastal road. The remainder of our forces must strengthen the troops surrounding the 3rd Motorized Indian Brigade at Mechili.
There are only two VH's nearby. The fight is short and aux units help. Again, only a few core units can participate in the fight.

10 Tobruk - The Easter Battle ltbv
TOBRUK - THE EASTERN OFFENSIVE April14 1941

The 5th Leichte Division's 5th Pz.Rgt. and 8th Mg.Btn. have breached the Tobruk Perimeter this morning. Unfortunately the Panzers got separated from the infantry which got pinned down.

Several Brescia and Trento division troops are ready for a diversion West of the breach. Support those efforts and send troops to dislodge the German units.

The diversion must reach as far as Fort Pilastrino and 8th Mg.Btn. must survive!
In this scenario, too, only five ground units can be deployed. I chose the wrong deployment and lost after a few turns.
In the second attempt, I strengthened my core in the southwest, which is supposed to support and protect my own VH. This was a better way, even if not all units could participate in the fight - the Italian transport is too slow for the desert.

11 Tobruk - Ras El Madauur tv
TOBRUK - RAS EL MADAUUR April30 1941

Rommel can't wait for the full 15th Panzer Division to arrive. With von Paulus visiting, he launches a new attack on Tobruk. Your 8th Bersaglieri Regiment supported by the Folgore Guastatori company is in the first line of attack.
At the start of the scenario, only 6 ground units can be deployed. The remaining units can only be deployed after the second VH has been captured (combined VH/SH). It takes many more turns until the airfield is also in my hand - then the allied air superiority can be broken.

Current scenario: Tobruk - Ras El Madauur, VH prestige is 0 , All map prestige is: 80

12 Operation Brevity ltbv
OPERATION BREVITY May15 1941

Leutnant Alfred Seeboehm's signals intercept unit reports that the Tiger convoy with over 200 tanks and over 40 Hurricanes has arrived in Alexandria 3 days ago. Wavell will use that equipment in a major offensive soon.

According Seeboehm, Brigadier WHE 'Strafer' Gott is very likely to launch an attack at our positions at Halfaya and Fort Capuzzo and maybe even as far as Sidi Azeiz or Tobruk, in order to improve the starting positions of the coming British offensive.

Our mobile reserves consist of 2 Panzer battalions. The German 5th Panzer Regiment has been reduced by the spring fighting and mechanical losses, the 8th Panzer Regiment due to mechanical and shipping losses. Rather than spreading the remaining vehicles thinly to keep all four German Panzer battalions operational, Rommel has chosen to keep two full strength battalions and disband the other two until repaired vehicles become available.

Notes: Brilliant Victory (BV) can only be achieved in the last turn for BV.
At the start of the scenario, only one ground unit plus the air force can be deployed. I have chosen my current strongest unit.
The tank reinforcement in the last turn to the BV captures the necessary VH in the north (must drive a hex).

Current scenario: Operation Brevity, VH prestige is 80 , All map prestige is: 160

13 Operation Battleaxe bv-1
OPERATION BATTLEAXE June15 1941

Operation Brevity showed that our front line defences were quite easily breached. Anticipating this new British attack and using the lessons learned from our attacks on Tobruk, Rommel created a line of fortified positions from Halfaya to Sidi Azeiz.

A weakness in the British 7 Armored Division's signals security informed us of an enemy attack 9 hours ago. The British attack is performed by elements of the 4th Indian division and the rebuild 7th Armored Division. Our sea and air forces were able to sink a ship with 57 tanks of the Tiger convoy, but the rest slipped though with 238 tanks and 43 Hurricanes. These are now used against us - without any doubt with the goal to reach Tobruk and possible to even push us back further than that point.

Note: This scenario has no initial deployment of core ground units. :irate

News: Crete has fallen to our forces.
:no another scenario where only my fighter can develop and most units are condemned to watch.

14 Operation Crusader loss :irate
OPERATION CRUSADER November19 1941

Nothing much happened in the last 5 months, but right when we were ready to start a new attack on Tobruk, British armour has swung around our border garrisons.

Our division (Ariete) and our Corps (XX) recon forces are stationed around Bir El Gubi to cover the planned attack on Tobruk. The rookie British 22th Armoured Brigade seems to be under the impression that they can whipe us from the battle field. It is your task to prove them wrong.

Notes: - The initial attack of the rest of the 7th Armoured division and its clashes with the DAK SE of Tobruk are left out of the scenario. All of these units will show up in the scenario a few days later with the strength they had left after the initial tank battles.
- The Germans renamed their 5th Leichte Division to 21Panzer Division and have swapped some units between 15Pz and 21Pz.
- The assumption is made that Tobruk has not fallen to your forces earlier.
- Keep the DAK HQ alive.
I started twice because I had to change the formation (due to losses in the first allied attack from the south) and bought two Recon and a tank.

This is one of those scenarios where I don't know what the designer wants me to do. With a lot of effort and tactical finesse I captured all VH's on the map in turn 10, but the game is not over. Instead, I am surprised by allied reinforcements that magically appear in the middle of the map. Likewise, new aux units and new VH's of my own, all of which I can hold or (after losing them) recapture.

And so the game drags on for 32 turns and at the end I hold all VH's in my hand, but the BV is denied to me. This is stupid design for me, and I don't want to play it :gun !

15 Crusader, the aftermath - Gazala 41 bv (hold 6 VH)
CRUSADER, THE AFTERMATH - GAZALA 41 December11 1941

After retreating from the Crusader battlefield, we have taken positions at the Gazala line. Until more reinforcements arrive at the front, the British 8th Army is still stronger than we are. Not unless there are signals that your troops are surrounded, you can retreat further West.

News: The last German thrust towards Moscow has been beaten back and the Russians have started counter-attacks at Rostov in the South and at Tula near Moscow.
Japan is starting to threaten Australia and New Zealand. Comando Supremo hopes this means some of the Commonwealth troops will leave North Africa soon.

Notes:
- Only 7 gound units can be deployed of which only 2 can be towed units.
- Hold at least 5 Victory hexes for a BV, 4 for a V and 3 for a TV.
Very confusing because the Allies attack from several directions at different times.

16 The battle of Gazala lttv (v+1 was possible)
THE BATTLE OF GAZALA May27 1942

After giving up the Cyrenaica to the Brits in the aftermath of Crusader last year December, our German allies launched a couteroffensive in January. That offensive brought us back to Gazala where all parties have been preparing for a new offensive.

The DAK and our XX Corps with Ariete and Trieste started moving South last evening, swinging around the most Southern point of the Allied defensive line: Bir Hacheim. Your Ariete division and Trieste are tasked with taking out the defensive positions at Bir Hacheim. The DAK's objectives are to engage and take out the enemy armor and reach Tobruk - the goal of our offensive. Our X and XXI Corps assisted by the German 15th Schutzen Brigade will launch faint attacks against the Gazala line (N of this map - not covered by this scenario).

Bad news has just come in from Trieste: they are lost in the desert after a navigation error.

News: The German 6th Army is preparing for a major offensive on Stalingrad. British and Indian forces are on the retreat in Burma.

Note: Only the victory hexes visible at the start of the scenario need to be captured.
HQ: I sold inexperienced Range -3 ATY and bought Range-4 ATY for it. I also improved the AT-MG.

Combat: This scenario is the reason why I interrupted the campaign and played a completely different campaign for my relaxation and pleasure. But now I have persevered until turn 35. If it weren't for occasional British tanks launching counterattacks and the RAF constantly providing threat, this scenario would be dead boring - a few stacked units and all the defenders have entrenchment 20. Half of the VH's are on islands that can only be reached by rivers in a few places. The river hexes are deadly traps for the attacker and should not be entered until the enemy ATY is eliminated - but that takes a lot of time and patience.

17 Tobruk - Gen. Klopper's defence v (bv+3)
TOBRUK - GEN. KLOPPER'S DEFENCE June20 1942

Intelligence reports that the South African 2nd Division has been joined by the 201 Gds Brigade, the 11th Indian Brigade and the 32 Army Tank Brigade before our troops completed the encirclement of Tobruk. The 20th Indian Brigade that tried to break out of the encirclement ran into the German 5th Pz Rgt and was captured almost to the last man.

Take command of Ariete and Trieste in the upcoming attack on Tobruk. The Germans will throw the non-motorized elements of the 90Le and whatever is left of the 15th and 21Pz Division against the perimeter.

News: - No more than 2 freighters of the convoys Vigorous and Harpoon made it to Malta. The darkest hour of the Royal Navy in the Med.
- Roosevelt and Churchill are discussing the problems of the second front and the atomic bomb. The are considering action in North Africa.

Note: Make sure that no South African troops escape by boat from Tobruk harbour.
HQ: no activities. My prestige is not enough for planned upgrades. I will push them until the next HQ.

The battle: I think a better result is possible. This would require the player to fully concentrate on the center and push all core units north. The aux units in the east and west can be ignored and left to their fate. In my opinion, they don't matter for the outcome of the scenario and only steal time from the player to move them.

18 Mersa Matruh tv (v+2)
MERSA MATHRUH - EXIT Gen.RICHIE June26 1942

The British troops have fallen back on Mersa Matruh where they are joined by fresh Indian troops and the 2nd NZ Div. You are now in command of Ariete, Trieste, the inexperienced Littorio armoured division and the few mobile troops of X and XXI Corps that have crossed the Lybia-Egypt border. Ariete and Trieste and 15 Pz are positioned on the right flank to keep the 1 Arm Div busy while the rest of DAK assisted by Littorio and the Infantry Divisions cut off the 8th Army forces.

Only 14 core units can be deployed in this scenario.

News: - General Auchinleck has decided to take over command of 8th Army from Richie.
- Japan starts construction of the Railway of Death to supply its forces in Burma.
- German troops drive a wedge in Sevastopol's defenses.
- The RAF bombs the Focke Wolf plants with 1,006 bombers.
- Roosevelt orders a Sqn of B25's to Egypt instead of China, as well as 40 Hurricanes on route to Russia and 10 B24's stationed in India. He also sends 100 howitzers and 300 tanks.
HQ: One INF improved.
The battle: tough and with many detours ... In the first attempt I tried to move units between northern Escarpment and Mersa Matruh. Useless. They are decimated by ATY shelling and are no longer useful for the battle. In the second attempt I took them back to the west and they later marched east between northern and southern Escarpment. This took a lot of time/turns.

20 First El Alamein tv
FIRST EL ALAMEIN July1 1942

After 8th Army's defeat at Mersa Matruh, its remnants have fallen back to the last defendable position before the Nile Delta: El Alamein. With the Qattara Depression in the South, there is no way around their defences. But once again they have dug themsleves in in far apart brigade size boxes. You are still in command of all mobile Italian forces that are in pursuit of 8th Army. Your task is to roll up 8th Army's boxes and move to Cairo and Alexandria as soon as possible.

The strength of our allies in the DAK is down to 55 tanks, 54 guns and 500 infantry divided between 15Pz and 21Pz. 90Le has 53 guns and 1700 infantry left.

News from Egypt:
- The Med fleet is dispersed to Haifa, Beirut and Port Said.
- Embassies of any nation that can offer an escape from Egypt are besieged.
- Roads and railways out of Cairo and Alexandria are chocked.
- British supply dumps are looted for food.
- Egyptian policemen and troops disappear.

Other news:
- Sevastopol surrenders. Von Manstein is promoted to Field Marshal.
- The latest joke in Berlin is: "There is no petrol in Berlin this week. Reichsmarshal Goering has sent all his uniforms to the cleaners."
HQ: the last ATY received a transport.

The battle: limited deployment to 14 units plus air force - unfortunately not mentioned in the briefing.
Heavily entrenched enemy everywhere. Capturing the VH's in the south/center of the map requires some planning, but is a solvable task. Wait for the first attack of British tanks (the AI is Aggressive) before attacking yourself - this prevents many losses.
Expect counterattacks from the south and east during the scenario - secure your captured VH's!

21 Alexandria tv
ALEXANDRIA October 20 1942

Your mobile XX Corps assisted by the few mobile elements of X and XXI Corps are tasked to follow the coastal road to Alexandria. Whatever forces 15Pz, 21Pz and 90Le can muster will go for Cairo - 150km SE of Alexandria (off map).

The few regular 8th Army units left are reorganizing behind the front or are defending Cairo. Alexandria is most likely defended by a hotchpotch of Allied units present in the Middle East:
- The Arab Legion - possibly the best trained Arab army unit.
- The Sudan Defence Force - a unit that has seen little fighting action after its successful participation in the East African campaign.
- The reformed 8th Indian Brigade with troops moved in from India.
- The First Greek Infantry Brigade - an untested outfit.
- The Polish Independent Carpathian Riffle Brigade - a unit that proved itself in Tobruk already, now reinforced by troops of General Wladyslav Anders, evacuated from the USSR.
- The second Free French Brigade.
- Small Czech and Royalist Yugoslav forces.

Despite of their high losses, the Western Desert Air Force still holds air superiority. The B25's diverted from China to Egypt by Roosevelt have been spotted by our troops.

Our spies report that a planned Allied invasion of Vichy French owned Morocco and Algeria has been delayed and that some of the forces that were planned to take part in it have been redirected to the Middle East.

News:
- Mussolini has shipped his white 'victory parade horse' to North Africa.
HQ: no activity

The battle: I started twice because I had to change the deployment of my AD - near the sea airfield is better than in the southern deployment area because the RAF is near Alexandria and trying to decimate my units there.
Progress in the south is very slow. I only have two INF and I use them for street fighting in Alexandria. In the south the river crossings are secured with minefields and with ATY, flak and tanks I can hardly eliminate them, it takes many turns - too many.

22 Port Said v (bv+5)
PORT SAID May11 1943

After the fall of Alexandria and Cairo, British and American forces lead by Ike opened a second front in North Africa - Operation Torch. It took von Arnim many months to stabilize that front in Algeria and Tunisia using mainly German forces.

The last few weeks more and more supplies have been diverted to Egypt, allowing our XX Corps to launch an offensive to capture Port Said at one end of the Suez Canal and allowing DAK to attack Suez at the other end. X and XXI Corps are moving South into the Sudan to recapture our lost colonies Ethiopia, Somaliland and Eritrea.

Notes:
- There are 3 deployment hexes in the SW corner of the map.

News:
- Operation Mars - Zhukov's attempt to eliminate the Rzhev salient and to encircle the German 9th Army near Moscow - has resulted in a complete Russian defeat.
- The Soviet Operation Little Saturn has - with the exception of our elite Alpini Corps - virtualy whiped out our VIII Army on the Eastern Front.
- The German Fourth Panzer Army's Stalingrad relief attempt gets stuck 16 miles of the city.
- General Giulio Martinat, chief-of-staff of our Alpini Corps in Russia was killed while personally leading a successful attack to break through Russian blocking positions at Nikolajevka, an attack which opened a path for our encircled troops, Germans and Hungarians to escape and regain Axis lines. A victory against all odds, with no artillery and no air support and on foot.
HQ: I improved the fighter and a tank.

The battle: what a hell from the air - my AD and Flak had to work around the clock. In total I had to shoot down 13 Fighters, TB and LB.
Port Said is defended by stacked units - I like it very much :sarcasm

GAZA July11 1943

The past months, your troops and DAK have pushed 8th Army accross the Nile and out of Egypt. Your forces are at the gates of Palestine. The Allies are gathering the last forces available in the Middle East to stop our advance. Most of the divisions they are fielding are inexperienced troops that haven't even finished their training.

Parts of the 5th Alpini Division Pusteria have been flown in from Montenegro and are under your command. DAK will operate to the right of your forces (largely off-map).

Your upcoming offensive against Palestine and TransJordan comes a week after our German allies started a major offensive on the Eastern Front. This offensive - code named Operation Zitadelle - might turn the tide of the war. Combined with a succesfull offensive against Palestine and TransJordan, it might convince Turkey to join the Axis and turn the tide of the war.

News:
- The Northern attack against the Kursk sallient has come to a halt, the Southern one has resulted in a major clash of forces at Prokhorovka. The outcome of that battle is not known yet.
- 5th Panzer Armee in Tunisia/Algeria is holding out against renewed Allied attacks.
- The Japanese have lost the Aleutian Islands to the Americans.
- The US has started submarine warfare against Japanese shipping.
- Our spies in Baghdad report Russian mountain divisions of the Central Asia Military District moving towards TransJordan.
HQ: I bought two bridge pioneers, because there are rivers to cross to the north that don't have bridges. Without bridge pioneers, victory in the turn limit is not possible.

The battle: ... is annoying again. The AI is set to aggressive, but I can't wait for their attacks in my starting position - I don't have the time. So both parties meet somewhere in the middle of the map. The Allies have air superiority again and have many Sherman tanks, which are also a problem for me. I have to repair a lot, but it's OK, because the campaign is finally over and I don't have to save on prestige.
