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.

T5.
4 units lost.
Going to try a left hook to cut off the German advanced units.

T6.
15th Pz are over extended so will try and surround them.
Hold the line against 21th Pz.
Counter attack the Italians.

T7.
15th Pz are isolated, time to wipe them out.

T8.
15th Pz getting crushed.
21st Pz are being pushed back.
Killing a few Italians each turn.
VPs at 211 for 78.

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.
