31 May 1942
Our Italian Allies are engaged in heavy fighting all along the Gazala Line. That should keep the British locked down while my Battle group makes its way around Bir Hacheim. And for the moment the plan seems to work. Gruppe Hecker was able to take Gazala and its important airfields in a swift strike and I am advancing on Bir el Gubi in order to secure another valuable airfield. If we succeed here the Royal Airforce will have a hard time operating and we will be the ones that can provide close air support.

4 June 1942
Bir Hacheim and el Gubi are in German hands and my battle group is half way to Tobruk fighting mobile British tank reserves in the back of the Gazala Line. Even the Italian attacks are gaining some ground allowing us to link up at Bir el Harmat.

-------------------------

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!
