There's more ... wait until I post next turn ... which is still playing out. I must say that I'm having a blast with this game and watching how the ebb and flow of things play out. At this point I'm unsure how the situation in Egypt and the Med, in general, will end up.ORIGINAL: brian brian
Il Duce was just unlucky. Switch the die rolls for Badoglio and Wavell, or make Wavell’s the same as Badoglio’s and the Wavell HQ is probably gone and Egypt belongs to the Axis.

It looks to me that the CW made a major mistake in Egypt. If the Axis gets the initiative, the CW has just handed Alexandria to the Italians. Attack that TERR, blitz it off the map, advance into Alexandria.
Good eye. I definitely missed that one, as you shall see later. The Italian could have gotten +16 assault (+17 w/HQ support, which would have disorganized Graziani). Because of rain in Alexandria the CW could have (would have) forced an assault. It would have been interesting to see how this would have played out. But, how it actually is playing out is interesting too.ORIGINAL: Centuur

That's my first reaction too. It's a +10 attack using the assault table to grab Alexandria, I believe. Even more with shore bombardment added. After that, the road is clear to Caïro too...
Thanks. [:)]ORIGINAL: tverse
Really enjoying the AAR especially the Naval battle described above.
