Overview:

The famed Desert Rats were on the move. Heading for the African coast through the Saleh/Beda Fomm area, they planned to set up ambush positions against the large Italian motorized columns retreating from Benghazi towards Tripoli. The 2nd Royal Tank Regiment took up positions on a large hillock bisected by the only road to Tripoli and dotted with graveyards. A short time after their arrival, two single decker buses appeared from the road from Benghazi. They were stopped, the civilians sent away, and the buses positioned as roadblocks.
Attacker: Italian (10° Reggimento Bersaglieri, 60° Divisione "Sabratha," and III, IV Battaglione Carri Medi)

2024-11-29(A) M T vs V.K. Italian winThe British didn't get too lucky with their ROF here. Once the Italians got close they destroyed the British armor and basically won the game. The British player did manage to stall the Italians with clever use of smoke for some time, but by the beginning of Turn 5 the end result was not in question anymore.

My second ever DTO game, very interesting stuff.
2023-12-18(D) Paul Works vs Tom Meier British win
2023-06-24(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Italian winMy British had to concede after Italian Turn3 Prep as all of my tanks were knocked out. Dan had three critical hits that took out three of my 8 tanks and the overwhelming fire from the other Italian tanks took me out as my tanks managed to hit but couldn't penetrate. Not a whole lot of fun for the British in this one.
