Unless of course, either side has Tobruk sitting neatly in the centre and so a battle for Tobruk scenario. would add a bit of extra edge! Looking forward to the next chapters.

Is it if it does not fight a battle in a campaign?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />SimonSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685946344478456214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-75167414019508810912020-04-16T16:24:16.721+10:002020-04-16T16:24:16.721+10:00Lovely looking game that had that sense of confuse...Lovely looking game that had that sense of confused action in the dust and heat of the Desert.
