Turn 2 - Axis Turn 14th December 1940 So what was the Italian High Command's response to the loss of Sidi Barani and the defeat of not only the majority of Graziani's invading force, but also much of the reinforcing units too? The only reinforcement of the units in Egypt has been a tank battalion that took back the airfield at Sidi Omar. Otherwise the response was pretty much limited to bombardments by the Italian artillery, which gave a decent account of themselves. No doubt, as a result of their efforts more Commonwealth units are reorganising. The order of battle for the troops remaining in Egypt looks numerous on paper, but decidedly thin in terms of the fact that the units are spread out, isolated from each other. The units in the southwest still give cause for concern in terms of them holding up advance of 7th Armoured.
