El Alamein questions to help run a CMAK tourney

RE: El Alamein questions to help run a CMAK tourney
This source here (awm.gov.au) indicates that the 2/28th ran into strong German elements. I/361st and I/200th of the 90th Light. It seems that after a long night in which the 2/28th achieved it's objective on Ruin Ridge, it was infiltrated and surrounded by the Germans, and asked for help the following morning. The 50th RTR was sent to provide relief, but the Germans countered with Group Briehl (3rd Recce Btln, and II/200th btln, and ATGs) attacking from one direction and another group composed of the I/115th btln supported by armor and artillery attacked from the opposite direction and destroyed 20 of 25 of the 50th's Valentines.

I didn't find any listings for strengths of these battalions, but they should be fairly easy to find, I found this info on the web in about 30 minutes so I'm thinking you guys didn't exhaust yourselves trying :rolleyes:

With 2 battalions on the ALlied side, and as many as 4-6 worth on the Axis side, this may be quite large for a CMAK scenario I would think, although I don't have a lot of knowledge about what that system is capable of. It does look like a one sided affair though.
