RE: Looking for opponents for Operation Battleaxe Full
Hi All,

I'll be interested to see how this plays out. We tested the individual day scenarios, but did not do multiple tests of this 90 day monster.

The scoring will reward you for playing historically, so do understand whether there are time limits or changes in points for various locations. The vast majority of points will be earned by holding the various objectives, so do understand where you want to send your forces.

Also keep in mind that maneuver is king and that you don't necessarily have to take every location to win. The points lost taking a location can nullify the points earned (I'm looking at you, Halfaya Pass), but on the other hand having an enemy position behind your front can be disconcerting as well. Rommel actually convinced the British to retreat when he managed to push from Sidi Omar towards Halfaya Pass, threatening to cut off all the British infantry to the north at Sollum & Capuzzo on the third day of the battle.

Also rest your troops. This is a three day engagement and a bit like Operation Bluecoat in Normandy, there was little time to recover damaged tanks and put them back in the field. High fatigue units will be useless so balancing up when and where to fight is critical.

I hope you all enjoy the scenario and would welcome all feedback so that we can adjust any issues found.

Thanks,

David
