I have a West Front (JTCS) scenario I made. It's a conversion from a scenario from the new Panzer Battles North Africa '41 game. It's called the Fall of Sidi Barrani, rather large, 20 turns long. I just completed it solo against the Italians, just squeezed out a Major victory! I would be grateful if some folks could play it solo and against an opponent, any takers? Description below.

10 December, 1940
[Sidi Barrani, Egypt]:[Allied/H2H][HIS][CSL]: The first day of
the Compass 'raid' had exceeded the British expectations. The
Italians had been routed from Nibeiwa & Tummar camps and the
roads between Buq Buq and Sidi Barrani had been cut isolating
the Italian forces east of Sollum. The British had earmarked
the 16th Infantry Brigade, currently attached to the 4th Indian
Division to clear Sidi Barrani and held the brigade in reserve
during December 9th. Preparations were made to attack the Italians
early on December 10th, but the late arrival of the Matilda's
and the poor results of the 16th Brigades probing attacks forced
a delay till further forces could be bought. In tandem, the Italian
1st Libyan Division had retreated from Maktila and had begun
to dig in just east of Sidi Barrani. The British slowly became
aware of the forces arrayed against them and delayed the attack
till 4th Armoured Brigade could provide squadrons to support
the infantry. The British finally started to move to contact
at 3pm, with a strong sandstorm all but blocking visibility for
both sides.[ALL][N VV] This uses night/day turns, I thought it was great fun, let me know if any interest!!

Hi Mike,
Haven't played in a while but...I'll give it a shot- just need an opponent.
If you don't get someone, I'll play as the Italians. They are mostly fixed for awhile, but needs tested as the Brits, see if the Major Victory is attainable, or I was just lucky! Only made it by 18 points!
