Desert War: Assault on Tobruk

[bcgames]

The next Desert War 1940-42 scenario will be Assault on Tobruk. This scenario will address the Axis attack to capture Tobruk from the 9th Australian Infantry Division between 29 April - 1 May 1941.

This scenario includes six brigades for the Allies Player: three brigades from the 9th Australian Division, one brigade from the 7th Australian Division, the 3rd Armoured Brigade, and the 4th Anti-aircraft Brigade. It also includes The Usual Suspects from the RAF and a brief appearance by HMS Aphis and Ladybird.

Thanks. I'm looking at doing another based on this paper by the Crusader Project:

Looks an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Just in time for ANZAC Day - look forward to this.

ANZAC Day is a worthy goal. Hopefully Saint Ruth and I can get our stuff done by that date. For me? I'm setting it as a personal goal to have our work forwarded to Matrix/Slitherine by 25 April.

It is a worthy goal but I always feel its more important to take the time and get it right.

Imagine, four days after celebrating ANZAC Day, you were an Australian digger defending Tobruk. What would you think of what you were about to do in the defense of Tobruk? Don't know.
