#05 | Panzer Corps | Afrika Korps - Brevity (1/2)
15 May 1941
The English are counterattacking in force near the Border of Egypt in the Region of Sollum and the Halfaya Pass. As most of our units are tied down in the siege of Tobruk, only thin forces are present to contest their advance and I have to rush to their defense.
Luckily I arrived just in time to meet the advancing British forces head on. They clearly did not expect my presence here and we caught them completely unprepared at Sidi Azeiz. They did not even have time to deploy their equipment and most got killed still on board their trucks.
By Midday we had the situation turned around. We have retaken most of the position and now the British are on the run. I even could cross into Egypt and take vital airfields along the coast.
-------------------------
Difficulty is set to Rommel and we are trying to do a (almost) blind run here. I will explain some advanced tactics and my thougths about different strategic approaches. For explanations on basics and game mechanic I recommend watching my playthrough of the Wehrmacht campaign.
Comments and Feedback appreciated!
