Gazala - first 5 days. Tyronec vs Axis AI

Post by tyronec »

Difficult setting.

No movement for the first 4 turns so will start this on T5. Had a couple of goes at this one to see if I could save 3 Mot brigade that are in the path of the Africa Corps but they couldn't escape. Can survive the first few moves but they always seem to get pinned by attacks and then wiped out in subsequent turns.

T4. Everything heading south, and am abandoning the front line forts in the north as some of these some units get creamed by artillery.

The lark, signing its chirping hymn,
Soars high above the clouds;
Meanwhile, the nightingale intones
With sweet, mellifluous sounds.
Enough of Stalin, Freedom for the Ukraine !

T9.
Game is as good as over, VPs at 307 for 88.

About half my losses were from 3 Mot Brigade at the start, the other half from Artillery in the north where I was unable to withdraw units (artillery fire seems to pin them sometimes); plus a couple of recon units.

Definitely more difficult to play from this side.
