Then we lock in the isolated British armor and the recce unit attempting to flee. Finally we swing in behind Bardia and cut off the rest of WDF. Bardia is not a port so I believe the entire WDF is now unsupplied. There are British reinforcements on the way but they are not within the battle zone yet...

Next in line we eliminate the Free French and their supporting UK units. Same routine, bomb them, hit them with tanks then a mop up with Infantry.

The Italian's begin their turn mopping up the 7th SG. First a couple of successful bombing missions with Regia Aeronautica then a tank assault and a final round up of remaining POW's with the infantry.

Ordering an immediate counter attack. So virtually all the armor was mustered for an assault on what we believed to be the 7th Su...

Turn 7 (22th Dec 1940). Ok lots of action this turn. First the Allies push in to our lines in an attempt turn our flank with consecutive attacks against the same units. Pretty much trashing the defenders. attack 1.png attack 2.png Our brave Italian lads looking battered after the British armor rolle...

Situation after Axis moves. All I did was extend my line a little further west, no withdrawal. Of course I had to thin out some stacks to create an extra one. Hopefully not so much to give him a easy victory some place. I wish to turn the battle in to a grind for him rather than one of flanking and ...
