Beda Fomm, Libya: February 5th, 1941. (Scenario Size: Brigade+. Recommended for both Head to Head or Allied Human vs Axis AI. This scenario uses variable objective victory points) This scenario only includes both Combeforce's and 4th Armoured Brigades actions on the first day. While the Australians attacked along the Libyan coast taking Derna and threatening Benghazi, O'Connor decided to send 7th Armoured Division across the desert in the hope of cutting the road between Benghazi and Agedabia. Combeforce was the foremost formation and was charged with reaching the road as quickly as possible. 4th Armoured Brigade was to follow behind through Antelat in support. Combeforce was to cut the road only 30 minutes before the first Italians arrived and the following two days were to be a desperate battle between the under supplied British and the retreating Italians trying to bypass the British blocking force. 4th Armoured Brigade was to attack into the flank of the Italians as they were slowed by Combeforce. Important play note; to move large formation along roads, select the lead unit and while holding the 'ALT' key down, right click on a road hex in the direction of movement. Where possible units in column will follow the preceding unit.
