#411125_01: Stumbling into the Indians - North Africa 1941

Sidi Omar area, southwest of Halfaya Pass: November 25th, 1941. (Scenario Size: Regiment. Head to Head or Axis Human vs. Allied AI). Rommel's Raid continues after his crushing but not fatal blow to the British armoured forces. His plan, as little of a plan he formed, is to roll the Commonwealth infantry forces near the frontier with Egypt up against the Axis frontier fortifications. However, he had only poor knowledge of the 8th Army dispositions and the overall status of the Italians and Germans in this area. In this case, the panzer element of the 21. Panzer-Division was tasked with pushing through the Sidi Omar area at the western end of the original defensive line. However the 4th Indian Division had captured this position and was strongly deployed behind the original remaining Axis minefields and was ready for the blow, as the Commonwealth Air Force dominated the skies in this area and had been bombing the approaching German forces, wearing them down and disrupting an already poor supply situation.
