Status: offline 		This scenario has been underway for some time - in essence meeting engagement in the north african desert between the forces of Italy and those of Britain. No Air, 10% Arty.

Up to now VikingNo2 has the upper hand - he has all but my rear VHs in his possesion and is dominating the battlefield with well placed tanks and AT guns and by dominating the 2 central heights.

The Brits are fighting well in parts. Throwing men into the northern sector may relieve some of the tension in the center/south.

I will let Viking give you his take on this - he has far more experience than me so I am trying to pick tactics and hints off of how he plays!

For not playing the Desert very offten RobW is doing well. His tanks outclass mine but I do currently have the better ground for now;)

Status: offline 		I seemed to have inspired the Italains, several tank kills coupled with sevral AC kills made this a good turn, capture most of the vhexs back. The only bad note Matildas are getting to the front and I got a sound of things to come plunk....plunk....plunk. Lets see if I can get some Flame squads close


Back to you my good man.:D

Status: offline 		The desert grinder continues to role. Men and tanks move forward but are replused. The north is where most of the action is currently happening so I am reorganising in order to counter the expected main thrust in the south or center.

Status: offline 		RobW is being quite crafty, with the truck movement that has been spotted, multiplr 2lb AT guns have been set up just on the other side of the smoke line, Arty is currently reloading so any assault will have to wait a turn or two.

Killed two of those Matilda Mansters and trying to isolate those hidden AT guns, acouple of other tanks die as well I lost some vehicles to some of those AT guns .:(

Status: offline 		Reinforcements have been called for - I hope they can get here before I am anihilated! In the south I manage to destroy a tank destroyer. The center sees 1 tank taken out by an interpid bunch of sappers - the VC medal for their sergeant I think. In the NOrth I am still pushing but am making no real headway.

Status: offline 		The northern flank is becoming a bloodbath. The smoke is allowing him to move his forces up to counter anything I can get near him. 2 Matildas are still fighting and have dislodged some of his forces. In the south I am waiting to see what comes out of the mist - I am certain he is about to launch some sort of assault in that area and am trying to marshall enough of my depleted forces to repel him.

Status: offline 		Are you playing the same game - I am sure you claim to have killed 8 Matildas when I only had 4.

In the North I continue to waste men in the smoke. There must be a way out soon.

In the center I manage to kill 1 ATR unit - thats all!!!

in the south I force 1 ATR to retire
