Beda Litoria, Cirenaica , Libyan Desert. 15 Kms E. of Bengasi. (Best to play against human opponent). Semi-historical scenario. In January 1943, the situation of the British 7th Army in North Africa was not safe. Tobruk garrison was surrounded by Rommel's Afrika Korps troops and Churchill was decided to force a decision. Intelligence report from Enigma decoded messages confirms an excellent opportunity to prepare a commando raid. A company of new Tiger tanks from 501 Schwere Panzer Abteilung had been disembarked and parked in a libyan small village meanwhile fuel and tank crews arrived from Italy.These new tanks could be a decisive weapon to use against Tobruk garrison. Also, according to the report, Rommel did want to check the tanks before the attack and he would spend the day there. So, an amphibious force lead by Col. Laycock and supported by the famous Long Range Desert Group had to attack the village, destroy the tanks and capture or eliminate General Rommel. The LRDG patrols, as an obstruction force, had to keep the german forces busy while the commandos did the task. This is the story...
Designer's notes: The Tigers tanks have a fixed status and I've increased the action cost to a maximum level to simulate your situation in this scn: out of ammo and fuel. This is the first time I probe or play these units in this role, so all comments about testing will be welcome.Turn off the opportunity fire for all unit types.
Attention to Victory Conditions, an only score is allowed to major allied victory.
