Hi all, A good day for the Allies! Von Pak has clearly become over-confident of his ability as his forces in North Africa are widely distributed. As such the 2 Armoured units at Gazala were dealt a severe smashing today and were pushed back to Derna. Allied SS Tempest and Malta air combine 2 sink 2 freighters to rhe east of Malta. A sneaky PT attack on Tripoli leads to a further freighter being sunk.
