Is there something the Axis can do to block the delivery via the script for the British Tanks for Egypt? When prompted the question, would you like the British Tanks fitted for Egypt (Yes) or Homeland (No), the tanks never arrived at either location. Was wondering if the Axis did something to prevent?

Tanks be no-show,

If you choose Yes, the Tanks will show up in a couple turns. If NO, they show up right away in Manchester. I always choose NO, unless you have a Tank tech rdy in the next turn.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they show next turn. It's been 1-turn, removed. Haven't bothered to check what tech I currently have. Just need those tanks, and fast! Opponent is conducting 2-pronged attack from the Holy Lands & Libya.

Hi EJR, Thanks for sticking with our game despite some early reverses. According to the Strategy Guide, the Decision Event re. 7th Armoured fires on August 16, and if you decide to send it to Egypt, it will arrive in "mid-October," otherwise it will show up immediately in Manchester.

You probably know about this one too, but just in case: If the Axis takes El Alamein, the US has the chance to supply another tank unit to the Brits in Egypt (USA DE 301)

@Helsingor --- Ha! You're sniffing my Forum post, good man. Yes, this is for our game. Finally, the 7th Armour just arrived, for Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. The Lord of Hosts had us march around 7 times the city, we have counter-attacked in the Holy Lands. Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade style. Had a feeling you sniffed out my action near Gibraltar, with a Maritime Bomber spotting. You saw I took the BEF to Morocco, thus you felt the need for SeaLion. Your Eagle Has Landed, I see the x3 Paratroops. My Carriers in the North Sea, got brave, and went after your Panzers loading up.
