1Timeline
[0:22] Intro, review of the last episode
Turn 17 [6:08, Action at 8:29] Holding fast the trenches on Hill 186, a universal carrier races toward the other side as Germans make potshots
Turn 18 [15:22, Action at 17:51] Anti-tank rifles have Italian Autoblinda in their sights as artillery strike German positions, will another carrier have as much luck in crossing the desert?
Turn 19 [25:14, Action at 27:56] Probing by the German offensive gathering steam on all fronts
Turn 20 [33:44, Action at 38:24] Can our forces finally throw some grenades? Artillery keeps our left afloat while the right faces a wall of Germans
Turn 21 [43:38, Action at 46:42] New voice, same tactics, Panzers overlook the battlefield and support German rushes
Turn 22 [53:09, Action at 55:14] Germans attempt to outflank the defensive line, but this is no Maginot, a scary moment for the jock column
Turn 23 [1:02:16, Action at 1:05:32] The enemy starts to put some serious pressure on the right, at least if we can't beat the Panzers we can shut them up
Turn 24 [1:12:27, Action at 1:15:07] Germans now push toward the middle as French throw whatever ammo they can find at them, Hill 186 under contention again
Turn 25 [1:21:45, Action at 1:24:20] The final arty spotter completes his exhausting trip, low ammo everywhere as the enemy seems to have made up his mind which direction to charge
Turn 26 [1:28:45, Action at 1:30:56] Second defensive line on Hill 186 activated, holding on for dear life on the right
[1:36:45] Summary of episode, plan for the last battle on the last day
The Free French continue to defend the Bir Hakeim against incoming Germans as they try to all out broad front assault, then change to probing for weakness in the lines. The carriers are more or less confined to the corner as they await to charge ahead and delay the inevitable as much as possible. Low on ammo and supplies, but not in morale, there is no room to turn back for the defenders.
