El Alamein

[Cobalt]

This will be the mini-campaign if anyone would like to help let me know, thanks.

Eighth Army's final attack:

On 26/27 July, 1942 Auchinleck launched an Operation in the northern sector in a

final attempt to break the Axis forces. The attack started at Ruin Ridge. The 24th

Australian Brigade managed to take their objectives on Ruin Ridge by 0200 hours of

27 July.To the south of Ruin Ridge, the British 69th Brigade followed and managed

to take their objectives by about 0800. However, the supporting units became lost

in the darkness or delayed by minefields, leaving the attackers isolated and

exposed. The British armoured brigades did not advance as planned.Rommel launched

an immediate counterattack and the German armoured battlegroups overran the

attackers before noon. The British and Australians suffered more than 1000

casualties for no gain.

It should fit the requirements.
