CFNA 1940-43 warspite1 (Axis) vs stelel (CW) - no stelel please

[warspite1]

Turn 8
12th October 1940

The cease-fire can be broken from Turn 9 onwards by the Commonwealth.


Note: some divisional units have become detached from their parent formation during the fighting, but these are in the main the correct locations of each division.

Interesting overview....if you can save anything West of the Marmarcia Div you will do well.
Having said that your overall position is not bad with defence in depth and reinforcements plodding their way up from the South East.
The big dilemma is where those go of course.....

Turn 10
19th October 1940

No assault yet from the Commonwealth.

Turn 11
23rd October 1940

Ditto

Turn 12
26th October 1940

A second battalion of 70th Division infantry is spotted east of Bir Khamsa; the British build-up continues....

Turn 13
30th October 1940

No attack - but the replay of the turn indicates lots of train action - so plenty of troops being sent to the front....

Turn 14
2nd November 1940

Ditto

Turn 15
6th November 1940

I see the Kiwis are moving up to the front - or at least there is mention of them - but I can't actually tell where they are thanks to the Italian appalling reconnaissance position.

Turn 16
9th November 1940

Movement by the Australians detected - but still can't see where all these units are going. At the moment just the four enemy battalions - two at Bir-el Qatrani and two at Zawyet Shammus - remain visible.

Turn 17
13th November 1940

Quick turn - no intel at all.....

Turn 18
16th November 1940

More train action but still no further clue as to where the British are gathering (although I have my suspicions)!

Turn 19
20th November 1940

Nothing at all to see this turn.

Turn 20
23rd November 1940

The Royal Navy are spotted off the coast of Sidi Barrani. The clock ticks down to D-Day which will come within anytime within the next 5 turns

Turn 21
27th November 1940

No attack yet but the Italian reserves decide to all reorganise anyway [8|]

Game Ended.
