Turn 147 - Axis Turn (in real time) 11th February 1942 Air base unit on the coast retreats then evaporates Mersah Matruh falls to the evil Axis! Usual drill – Italian units move up to the western front in large numbers. AA units destroyed and 2nd Camerons surrounded Wahey! One AA battery survives! Units start moving in the east now An air base unit heads for the northern banks of the Qattara Depression – while an Italian unit heads directly east and then disappears from sight. The Germans send out another one and it too disappears from view. I wonder how far they've moved? A third finds the Commando unit on the northeastern corner – and tank and mechanised forces are despatched to destroy them. The company – what’s left of it – retreats numerous times to the north More Germans are sent to destroy the company of 5th Division infantry to the west. I wonder if devoncop knows there is now nothing between his forces and Cairo….? He then sets up a screen to cover off my forces to the north. The number of units available to the Axis player at this point seems ridiculous…. He now has a solid line of units stretching from east of Mersah Matruh to the eastern end of the Qattara Depression.... Large numbers of aircraft are seen flying in - including Ju-87D's The 2nd Camerons, and the LAA unit with it, evaporate. End of playback. Hahahahahahahahaha – Just as devoncop makes a potentially war winning move, my armour in that area reorganises – and of course the final 3 battalions and one AT regiment of the 70th Division withdraw!! Only 4 more turns until the 4th Indian start to disappear too…. Playing the CW is just sheer, unremitting fun…in fact, I haven't had this much fun since I had open heart surgery.[:)]
