Campaign for North Africa 40-43

[broccolini]

No. Tobruk is the only supply source on this part of the map. The supply situation should be critical for the cut off units.

The loss of the fleet has no doubt thrown a big wrench into the siege, but I'm still pretty impressed by the Italian resistance. Bardia too: cut off and with no supplies, they are holding off a very powerful force.

[broccolini]

True. I underestimated the strength of the fortifications at Tobruk. I thought a few attacks on the weak side should do it. That has not been the case.

Keeping that extended defensive line east of Tobruk was a strange choice: he should have shortened and deepened the line closer to the city when you started pounding the western side.
