<r> Apologies, I have been under the weather and finally feeling good enough to get all my thoughts together.<br/>
<br/>
Turn 15<br/>
The Italians are still facing superior Quality Troops . They also need time to regain Readiness with many units down 30%. My combat supply is also running low. I ...

RE: Desert War: Game In Play - Into The Blue

<r> Axis Turn 14<br/>
<br/>
This is the penultimate game turn. I finish off the 7th Armor Brigade's Engineers with little trouble. Elsewhere I make some reckless attack and mainly do ore damage to myself than the enemy. <br/>

11th Indian and Selby Group is doing a number on the 158th of ...

<r> Details of Attack on &th Armor Brigade AT Guns<br/>
<br/>
Italy's 233 Regiment attack on CW's 7th Armor Brigade's unsupported anti tank guns went well. Normally the AT guns would have provided 4 Shock Defense against the tanks, their reduced Readiness State and low supplies reduced them to -2 ...

<r> Axis Turn 13<br/>
<br/>
The 158 Regiment of the widely separated Cirene Division (the dark green striped units) is being kicked around by Selby. I am attempting to withdraw to the ridge line <br/>

The next to last units of the 4 Lib Regiment are destroyed. They have been cutoff from almost the start. Only a lonely Battalion of armor remains.<br/>

Selby Force has started to push back My 158 Regiment is taking the brunt of Selby’s counterattack. It looks like I ...

<r> Axis Turn 11<br/>
<br/>
Selby continues to push towards the pocket. I am afraid my 158th Regiment will be beat up trying to slow it. But the job must be done.<br/>

My forces trying to reduce the pocket are having a slow time. His defensive stand is on top of a ridge line to my armor ...

<r> Axis Turn 10<br/>
<br/>
Started trying to eliminate the CW unit that I have widely encircled. Attacks by the 2nd CCNN and Carri Armata X (a Tank X) on his AT guns whittles them down by a third but they will not be dislodged. Other attacks merely chip away at various units doing at most 10 ...

<r> Axis 9<br/>
Artillery attacks by both sides. Mine are marginally effective (around 2%). The exception of this is catching 2 stacks of tanks, 4th Armor and RTR, with a 10% and 4% damage hit respectively.<br/>

His Selby Force eliminates the remains of my forces near El Maktila. His ...

<r> Axis Turn 8:<br/>
I have managed to turn the Allies Southern Flank. I use heavy Artillery bombardment and attacks on the 4th Armored Brigade to eliminate some 36 VP worth of CW troops. Not exactly sure where. I have started keeping track of Attack results in a better fashion. Only the current ...

Successfully cleared the Sofafi-Buqbuq road, allowing communication over escarpment. Conducted mainly harassing artillery attacks. 2nd CCNN and Cantanzaro Divisions conducted probing attack in the center.<br/>

<r> Axis Turn 5:<br/>
It looks like I stopped Don from cutting off Sidi Barrani for now. My artillery attacks all did minimal damage. My attack near the Sofali Pass was weak due to poor unit integrity. My attack by CCNN was a meeting engagement where units of the 2nd ran into CW units I did not ...

<r> Axis Turn 4<br/>
This is my first time posting an AAR and I did not think ahead and take screen shots of my turns until Turn 7. Thus the picture below is from the Allied point of view.<br/>

This turn is a monumental turn as I finally was able to release troops not directly under attack ...

RE: Desert War: Game In Play - Into The Blue

<t> Cw artillery and cutting supplies is making it difficult to get into better defensive positions. My defensive art is providing a little relief. Only units with adjacent CW units are able to move still. <br/>

FYI we are posting AARs several turns after the ones shown. Thus, we can both ...

Again no air or recon available. I was able to to use Defensive Fire to try and blunt Allied attacks. It was rather unsuccessful.

Italians had nothing to do this turn. No air or recon assets are available. All units are Fixed in place. We must weather the storm.
