Operation 'Skorpion" May 1941 - K K Rossokolski - 10-10-2009 Not long after Opn "Brevity," in which the British captured Halfaya Pass, the Germans took it back. The defending force was 3rd Bn Coldstream Gds, with A/T, arty and Matilda support. The attack comprised 3 assault groups, presumably fron von Herffs' Gruppe. Can anyone help me with more exact details? RE: Operation 'Skorpion" May 1941 - JasonC - 10-10-2009 There is a Panzerblitz scenario on this fight. Don't know how accurate the OOBs are, but someone researched it and the various formations involved are listed. Here is a link to the details - http://gregpanzerblitz.com/Skorpion.htm For what it is worth... RE: Operation 'Skorpion" May 1941 - K K Rossokolski - 10-10-2009 "For what it is worth...

Or their equivalents in other arms/services. The link is useful:........ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_organization
