Enter Rommel

[Dog Soldier]

Situation at the end of Allied turn 4 (below)
North map.


I have a big success at my main defensive position (oval), the Axis assault fails and I hold onto the hex between the minefields this turn, as engineers start to clear the southern minefield I am forced to move my Free French company to block the exit from this hex, my gamble to ignore the coast route has paid off as my opponent shows no sign of using that approach, I also reposition my recon units to a inner line of defence.

South map.


I now discover why the attack down the main road has been weaker than I expected, a large force of Axis units appears to the south of my position surrounding the Bir es Suera oasis, but do these units have time to take the oasis and bring their weight to bear on my main position on the coast road?
