#06b - Fortress November [Hypothetical] (27-29 Nov 1941) - PzC 04 Tobruk '41

ed Duda, 27 November 1941: After months of waiting, Rommel is finally ready for a showdown over Tobruk. Supplies have been hoarded, heavy artillery gathered, and the Panzer Divisions refitted. But the British have been busy too. Gone are the Australians, recalled by their government to the jungles of the Far East, and replaced by the British 70th Infantry Division and the Polish Brigade. But additional armor, and artillery, has also been gathered in preparation for the garrison's part in the Crusader offensive. In reality, Crusader interrupted Rommels' plans and 1941 would pass without him satisfying his obsession. But delays were common in the desert and this scenario explores Rommel's planned assault. But unlike the previous scenario, this one assumes that the British were also ready to go with Operation Crusader.
