#410206_01v Beda Fomm - Day 2 - North Africa 1941

Beda Fomm, Libya: February 6th, 1941. (Scenario Size: Division. Recommended for both Head to Head or Allied Human vs Axis AI. This scenario uses variable objective victory points) This scenario only covers the second day, February 6th actions. The British had managed to interdict the Italian retreat route on the Via Balbia near both Beda Fomm and further south near Sidi Sultan. 4th Armoured Brigade was very low on ammunition and fuel and was challenged by the Italians pushing south. The lack of supporting infantry made 4th Armoured job much harder and they had to be content to harass the Italian columns. Combeforce, at the southern roadblock continued to hold the bulk of the Italian forces in place, despite heavy counterattacks by the tired Axis units. The Italians were desperate to avoid the British and push on to the relative safety of Agedabia further south. 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.
