Player's Notes

Axis Player

The initiative is in the hands of the Axis Player. Generally, Tobruk cannot be taken until Bir Hacheim falls or an alternative supply line is secured, and the Allied armor has been effectively crushed.

Allied armor can tie down too many units, so the next place would be just south of the 150th Brigade; but that would mean a thrust directly north and not a northeastern advance.

The Germans must utilize a flak wall' with the panzerjagers. This should hold off the concentrated British counterattacks. The Italians and Germans in the north should attack only one or two points iii the line.

Allied Player

After the opening German attacks, the Allied Player is faced with two choicest either fall back to a line between El Adem and Knightsbridge. or close in on the Germans. The latter is the more dangerous. The Line must be held as long as possible. If the infantry is having a tough time, pull back to the second line around Accroma.
