SCENARIO
The choice of action was given to Todd.
He chose continued pursuit of the WDF deeper into Egypt without encountering a box.
Near El Alamein ridges. Brits are defending them.

Main Table: 6'x12'.
Italian Back Table: 2.5'x12'.
Commonwealth Back Table: 2.5'x12'.

Background: WDF lost the previous battle including lots of supplies and vehicles. The Italians are using these to continue their pursuit.
----------

Brits. At Start: 4,000 (Main Table) and at 1:45pm real time: 500pts. (Back Table).

Italians At Start: 5,250 (Back Table) and at 1:30pm real time: 750 pts. (Back Table).

 

Suggestions?

(1) Three Italian Battle Groups: 2,500, 2,750 and 750.

(2) You make up 1-2 Battle Groups from your collection. Perhaps (2,500 or 2,750) and (750)?

(3) I'll make up the missing pts. from Chris Kenth's collection. I have the whole thing here. He has lots of everything but I'll have to consult your armor book to identify things. Huge collection. Tell me in general what you want and I'll show you the result for approval/change.  

 

Otherwise:

Moving from Back to Main Table can't fail but movement consumes a command throw.

Brits: CO and HQ are +1 upgrades free. Two free fighter planes and two free air observers.

Italians: One CO or HQ per Battle Group upgraded +1 free.

Transport is free.

 

How does the above sound?

-----------

The British Western Desert Force will defend a long and large ridge which can be flanked.

Forces: 7th Armoured Division, 4th Indian Division and some 6th Australian Div.

I'll send a photo of the general terrain several days before the game.
