Overview:

The foundation of Eighth Army's defense was the Alam Halfa Ridge, and the cornerstone of that fuondation was the western spur. By midday the 15th Panzer Division had fought its way to the ridge despite the loss of their division commander. The attack was led by a few Mk IV "specials", whose long-barreled 75mm guns took out severel Grant medium tanks from long range. Just as the 15th Panzer was gaining momentum, however, 5th Royal Tank Regiment was thrown in to stem the assault. -- Scenario 2 of 3 in the Line In The Sand mini-campaign.
Attacker: German (Panzer-Division 21)
Defender: British (3rd and 4th County of London Yeomanry and 44th Infantry Brigade)

2023-12-28(A) Tuomo Lukkari vs Mikko Lukkari British win[Imported from ROAR]
2023-10-29(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske British winBritish 6 pounder went on an 8 shot rate tare and took out 4 German tanks. The next turn it took out two half tracks from the smoke. Very hard for the Germans after fire like that. This desert campaign has dust, OBA, air spotters and very dry with vehicle dust. To get hits like that make for a tough scenario. Campaign is 1-1.
2023-10-29(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best British win
2022-11-20(D) Eben Johnson vs Anon. German winWell, forgot to bring my reinforcements on board during the appointed turn and my opponent held me to the rules. Great scenario, otherwise. Brits need to wage a battle of attrition and use reverse slopes when possible.
