Turn 34 5th April 1941 The original plan having been shown up for the utter bilge that it was, Lt-General Neame orders a general retreat. All units in Alexandria head for the Bardia area to beef up the limited number of units garrisoning the key towns and airfields there. The only exception are the 65th AT Regiment and the 8th Field Artillery Regiment, both of which have gone by ship to Tobruk. Although a general retreat has been put in effect, the armoured units around Msus have been ordered to attack the last two remaining units of the Ariete Division. In the desert around the Giarabub Garrison, the last of the Saharan Detachment has been destroyed and the British units head north, leaving behind the Czech battalion. Finally, around Tobruk, the Royal Navy task force open up their guns along with the Polish artillery regiment. The Italian armour around Msus are destroyed, but the danger of getting too close to the RN can be seen below. 7 tanks and 78 precious trucks destroyed.
