7Timeline
Scenario Briefing [2:30]
Command Briefing [58:31]
Map overview of the broken landscape of Bir Hakeim [7:26]
Defensive scheme and line layout [13:32]
Turn 1 [21:33, Action at 24:24] The Germans have brought the guns, tanks, n' men
Turn 2 [29:17, Action at 31:29] Hunkering down in the trenches, building on the flurry of defensive action of the first turn
Turn 3 [38:23, Action at 40:46] Free French spotter decides on its target, the expected serviceable times of their on field guns are very short
Turn 4 [45:20, Action at 48:00] So many targets for the guns, attack as they appear or later?
Turn 5 [50:57, Action at 55:15] Some doubts creeping into current assessment on the field, some guns are running out or low on ammo
Turn 6 [1:00:45, Action at 1:03:26] More German infantry rushing headlong to French defenses and Hill 186, artillery misses the mark, largely
Turn 7 [1:06:08, Action at 1:12:38] The RNG luck runs out on some erstwhile gun batteries, and some German tanks as well
Turn 8 [1:17:00, Action at 1:19:55] Can the tank rifles inflict some, if any, damage on advancing Panzers? Artillery spotter spots coordinates on its next target
Turn 9 [1:23:53, Action at 1:28:20] As much poke you head out, be prepared for the onslaught of German firepower
Turn 10 [1:32:43] One man reinforcement?
On the southernmost bastion of the Gazala line at Bir Hakein stands the Free French forces commanded by general Koenig. Rommel and his Afrika Korps race to outflank the entire defensive line and the former Ottoman fortress stands out like a sore thumb. Flustered by the progress or lack thereof against the small French exiles the Germans once and for all decide to overwhelm the defenses and eradicate the defenders once and for all. Can the Free French hold out for one last day?
