Point 208, west of Fort Capuzzo, Egyptian - Libyan Border: June 15th, 1941. (Scenario Size: Battalion. Allied Human vs Axis AI. This scenario uses variable objective victory points) While 4th Armored Brigade advanced on Fort Capuzzo, 7th Armored Brigade was ordered to protect their flank and prevent the Germans from attacking from the north or west. By 11am, 2nd Royal Tank Regiment had discovered the Axis defenses at Point 208 and an attempt to clear it had cost it six of its tanks. Stymied from pushing forward, 6th Royal Tank Regiment outfitted with the new crusader tank was ordered to clear the Axis Stuetzpunkt (fortified positions) using two of its three squadrons. Like 4th Royal Tank Regiment at Point 206, 6th Royal Tank Regiment would attempt to overrun the defenders with armor alone. This was to prove even more challenging than the prior attack as 88mm heavy AA guns were included in the defending inventory.
