Today we played in Marian estate small game which happened in the African desert not far away from Tobruk. Both sides seem similar – jet Germans were a little bit more mobile. Marian played DAK (Deutsche African Corps) and I took his British 8th Army.

Main target were to take and hold lone 8,8 anti air gun – holding it to an end was worth 3 VP, each unit was worth 1 VP. Half of units were placed 20″ from each corner and other half came in second turn as wave.

British arrived on the field.
Germans did the same.
Tommy – give artillery fire on Jerries position, hurry up!
Hans give me one more cartridge!
Matilda II slowly arrived on the field.
British attempt to got cover.
Some support from SAS arrived.
Germans took 8,8 and prepared for British assault.
Germans on BMW motorcycles arrived.
Hand to hand combat beetwen German pioneers and British infantry. Few Germans survived this combat untouched.
Almost in the cover.
Artillery barrage called by observer arrived pinning many troops and destroying German HQ.
1,2,3 feuer!
SAS and Matilda crew tried to save a day, but it was too late.
Matilda was immobilized by Panzer III, it crew left the tank as battle was over.

Summary:
– it was DAK victory over British Commonwealth – 10 to 3 VP.
– thank you for great game Marian from Maniexite.
