Finally, return to Africa with Rommel's finest in another battle before Tobruk! I hoped to get some jitters out of the way here before real battle began, but I'm sorry beforehand for some mistakes and quirks in commentary.

Timeline

[0:00] Feel free to skip this
[2:00] The next battle between Germans and UK
[3:31] Scenario and Command Briefing
[9:10] Map overview just outside of the Strongpoint Blenheim
[11:01] What is our plan here?
[12:23] Deployment in three zones

Turn 1 [18:26, Action at 20:24] The combatants hurry to Blenheim and sees each other in compromising positions

Turn 2 [24:24, Action at 28:05] Herr Commander, tanks we haven't seen before at one o'clock!

Turn 3 [32:36, Action at 35:10] Boiling down to which side can bring how many guns to the fore and hurl as many AP shells as possible

Turn 4 [40:13, Action at 46:40] It really is about (re)positioning and line of sight, but for some, it's too late

Turn 5 [49:29, Action at 54:32] Regrouping on the depleted left, close calls for panzers

Turn 6 [58:32, Action at 1:02:49] Positioning to face one group at a time, M3 Stuarts push forth to objectives

Turn 7 [1:06:56, Action at 1:10:25] Losses mount as Grants and Crusadors follow up

Turn 8 [1:12:28] Finally, some good news! But would it be enough to resist the oncoming enemy tanks?

Rommel correctly assumes that Strongpoint Blenheim would be one of the weaker part of the Allies defensive line around Gazala and sends his panzers south to flank the enemy. However, the British have been prepared for months for such an attack and the element of surprise that the Germans had was quickly lost as both sides clashes near the strongpoint. Will we be able to maintain momentum from Rommel's audacious gambit?
