Board DescriptionTobruk Background: It's May, 1942. After his inital early brilliance, Rommel was driven back almost to his starting point in Cyrenaica. With the British effort to save the Balkans, their initiative was temporarily lost and Rommel was able to lead his German and Italian units back towards the Egypian border. Now the fortress port city of Tobruk lies within Rommel's grasp for the 2nd time. However, the British have resupplied their forces. Will Rommel redeem himself for his earlier failed attempt at Tobruk and lead an assault into Egypt or will the revitalized and slightly numerically superior British under General Wavell succeed in relieving Tobruk and driving the Axis forces back with their Operation Battleaxe? Both sides have wearily found secret paths through the treacherous minefields and seek to outmaneuvr eachother, but who will strike first? Order of battle for the Afrikakorps: 15th Panzer Division 21st Panzer Division 90th Light (panzergrenadiere) Division Itallian armoured divisions Ariete and Trieste and Littorio Italian infantry divisions Pavia, Brescia and Trento early reinforcements, Italian Folgore (airborne) division Order of battle for the 8th Army: The elite 7th Armoured division 1st Armoured division 9th Australian Infantry division 1st South African division 2nd South African division 50th Northumbrian division 4th Indian division 5h Indian division 1st Free French Brigade forming way to the east near Alexandria: 10th Armoured division 51st Highland division 2nd New Zealand division Gamplay: This is a 1v1 dualing game - Italians and Germans on one side and the British and allied forces on the other.

Placement is enabled in the following locations: Unit caps: Air Forces: The air forces in this scenario play a very limited role. The max units per turn on the air base is 1 unit (though the local bomber begins in overstrengthed capacity). Range is limited for the air bases. The local bomber has a short range and the mid-range bomber can reach as far as Gabr Saleh in the middle of the map. The bomber attacks at a 90% hit rate. Defending units have a 10% chance per unit of knocking the unit from the sky. Placement is enabled on the air bases. Winning: Capture the enemy's capital. The German capital is Rotunda Segnali. The British Capital is Halfaya Pass. Gameplay Settings
