Clash at Fort Capuzzo - The Matrix Games version of West Front

Fort Capuzzo, 15km SW of Sollum, Libya: [Best played as Axis] Earlier in the day, the 4th Armoured Brigade drove east from Pt. 206 overrunning Fort Capuzzo and threatening Sollum, the capture of which would result in the isolation of the Axis units on the frontier. In response, Rommel ordered the 8th Panzer Regiment south to attack the 4th Armoured at Capuzzo, which was now supported by units of the 22nd Guards Brigade. At first the panzers made good progress, but as the British fell back on Capuzzo, they rallied and held their position. The threat to Sollum, however, had been eliminated.
