Sidi Barrani, Egypt: December 9th, 1940. (Scenario Size: Corps. Head to Head possible but recommended for Allied Human vs Axis AI. This scenario uses variable objective victory points) In September 1940, the Italian 10th Army, led by Marshal Graziani invaded Egypt. During the month, the Italian army set up a series of six defensive positions south of occupied Sidi Barrani known simply as Nibeiwa, Tummar East, Tummar West, North Sofafi, East Sofafi and West Sofafi. Graziani, chooses to pause while building up the road infrastructure and bringing forward further supplies. By December, the British Middle East commander, General Wavell decides to raid the Italian camps in a limited offensive using the newly reinforced 7th Armoured Division and 4th Indian Division. Three months of static positions had lulled the Italians into complacency and the British attack quickly moved from a raid to a full-fledged offensive. This scenario covers the first two days of Operation Compass when the Italians were expelled from Egypt and pushed back into Libya.

Of course it´s balanced in favor of Allies, it´s operation Compass, but nevertheless, it´s very enjoyable reliving the hopeless Italian situation.
