I´ve found myself fighting in the same scenary in two consecutives missions on Mega Campaign 1. It´s in the operations around Tobruk and, after taking the hills around Fort Capuzzo from british hands, a couple missions later I found myself defending that posittion from a british counterstrike with Matildas and Indian and Gurkha infantry. My engineers and a couple 88 mm AT did the job with the armoured offensive and then my own armoured units (PZ III and IV) finished the british infantry. But now I begin the next mission (which was supposed to be a defensive battle after getting isolated by the enemy counterstrike) and I find myself again facing Fort Capuzzo and the hills around it. ˇˇˇAnd they are controlled by the brits, once again!!! So I must retake them.
Has anybody found himself in the same situation. Is it a bug or a joke???

Not a bug nor a joke, Phil. That would be mirthless humor. In the bigger picture, ground is taken and then has to be retaken. This was never more true than in the deserts of North Africa. With so much room to maneuver, holding ground was not an easy thing. It is entirely conceivable That you have gotten a victory of sorts and then been faced with a new situation in the same area. A lot of where you go in a Mega Campaign depends on how well you do. If you do very well, you will fight a lot of battles, often over the same ground. If not, you may miss some battles. I'm not real sure without looking at which specific battles you mention but I will look at them. You will see the same thing happening occasionally in Lost Victories and also the Guadalcanal campaign. There were three Battles of the Matanikau before it was decided once and for all. Kharkov changed hands at least four times during the War in the East. Hamburger Hill, Pork Chop Hill, etc, were all battlefields taken and then retaken. Such are the fortunes of war, my friend. WB
