ORIGINAL: warspite1 Turn 30 22nd March 1941 There appears to be three main tracks that the Axis may use to get to Egypt - the coastal road and two tracks to the south. Lt-General Neame notices there is nothing on the southern, most direct route, to block any German advance. He orders an immediate change to the plan. 2nd Armoured are moved south to guard the northern track, while 7th Armoured will guard the southern track. The 2nd Armoured take up initial position northwest of Msus airfield, while 7th Armoured centre on Ben Gania. Both come under air attack while moving. I do so like yr AAR's, Warspite! The narrative adds a lot to the game - Matrix/Slitherine should pay you :) But is it wise to disperse yr forces like this, unable to support each other?? Let's see. warspite1 Thank-you sir! I agree splitting forces has dangers of its own, but IF (big IF if the loss of the 18th Aussie Bde is any measure) I do it properly, I can use these as mobile obstacles to slow the Axis and impede progress. The ideal would be concentrating - but I'm not sure where? There seem to many places that Rommel can simply outflank the CW. As you say, let's see [:)]
