Historical Background
Germans passed Tobruk during their advance and the Australian 9th division was left behind to defend the city and it's
defensive perimiter. As Rommel is in desperate need to shorten it's supply lines he needs the seaport of Tobruk. Both 9 x3
sides had major problems, as they were short on ammunition, fuel and troops. Rommel had a bold plan to capture the
high ground of "Ras El Madauar" and push on to once Italian Fort Pilastrino. During the night two Pionierbataillonen
advanced. The next morning the Panzerkompanien rushed towards the gap followed by the Italien Divisione corazzata 10 x1
"Ariete".
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
