Fort Capuzzo, Egyptian - Libyan Border: June 16th, 1941. (Scenario Size: Corp. Head to Head or Human vs AI for either side. This scenario uses variable objective victory points) Both the Allied and Axis forces had mixed success on June 15th. The Germans had beaten off successive attacks by 4th Indian Division at Halfaya Pass, decimating both the Allied infantry and the supporting Matilda II tanks. Further to the west, 7th Armored Brigade with orders to flank the German defenses on the frontier and prevent their retreat was ambushed at Point 208 losing many of the new Crusader tanks. It was in the center that the Allies saw the most progress, clearing Point 206 and then capturing Fort Capuzzo with their armor heavy forces. Overnight assaults saw Musaid fall, with preparation to clear Sollum from the escarpment down. The Germans had seen significant tank losses from 8th Panzer Regiment as it responded to each Allied thrust, but it was hoped that the arrival in strength of 5th Leichte Division would tip the balance back. As June 16th dawned, both sides prepared to renew their assaults, with desperate defense and dogged attack the currency of the day. This scenario covers the second day of Operation Battleaxe.

A lot of maneuvering early on. Very entertaining
