WW2 Western Desert Campaign Turn 4

Campaign turn three saw a victory to Allied forces with two wins. Each campaign turn is the best of three games on the tabletop. Because the Allies were attacking this turn, Axis forces are pushed back one zone on the campaign map.

Allied forces are able to advance after they successfully counterattacked.

The start of another campaign turn sees Axis and Allied forces determine their supply status. The Allies receive supplies on 2+ and Axis on 3+. Axis forces desperately require supplies having survived with no supplies last turn and with only one fully equiped division (15th Panzer division).

Supply chart at the end of campaign turn 3.

Unfortunately for the Allies they rolled a 1. While Axis forces will receive supplies with a 4 rolled.
The decision for the allies will be whether to continue with their attack or pause and consolidate their position, avoiding the risk of over stretching. This pause approach assumes Axis forces re-equip and with neither force attacking the campaign turn will roll on to turn 5.

The Axis decision is pretty straight forward. They choose to resupply so all their divisions will be at full complement. The Allies choose to continue their attack hoping that should it stall their flow of supplies returns.

Axis units are shuffled and placed face down. The Allies select their attacking division and will be facing the Italian Pavia division again. A fortunate choice of attack avoiding a reequipped Panzer division.

Allies continue their attack.

The first attack of turn 4 avoids a clash with the reequipped Panzer divisions.

All set for the next game.
