North Africa unit morale

RE: North Africa unit morale
Shelby group is a high morale, but very small unit in Operation Compass mod of El Alamein 42.  That group cannot make much headway along the coast road until the Australian 6th arrives at their position.  The Australians can then take the Shelby group positions and start pushing up the coast while Shelby Group flanks the Italian positions in a series of moves inland.
The Italians will crumble yielding many prisoners.

Bardia can be crunched much the same way.  There are several weak points in the Italian defense of Bardia.  The Shelby group can spread out in a sector to complete the encirclement to the west and north of the defensive ring.  It is important to race ahead to block the Italians trying to withdraw along the Via Balbia.  Here is where the Jock Column and 11th Hussar armored cars shine.  All through the campaign of Operation Compass these units can range far in advance of the main lines setting up blocking positions where needed along the main road networks in the Axis rear areas.  Augment these units with air strikes you hold back just for them to use on Axis units spotted in transit mode along those roads.  Whether Axis units are fleeing to the next defensive line or rushing in reinforcements this recon group can call devastating air strikes.  Sending naval assets up the coast early so they can reach Bardia ahead of your ground forces will help this effort.

Not allowing the Axis forces to withdraw in time to escape you will yield far more VP than the VP locations.  This will make your Major Victory assured.
