Battle of Gazala

 

The Afrika Korps goes on with their offensive in Cyrenaica, besieging the city of Tobruk and attacking the british 8th army in the battle of Gazala

The brits defend the objective waiting for their reinforcements to show up

The first of whom charge into the german soldiers closest to their entry point

The nazis also get reinforcements in the shape of a formidable panzer IV

Challenged by an antitank gun and a valentine III

The axis forces close into the objective firing all the while

While behind them the panzer elite blows up the valentine

A decisive charge by the veteran Afrika Korps dislodges the desert rats from the central wreck

Enabling a squad to take the objective

Only to lose it to a counterattack

But the fascist firepower is too much for the brits, who are blown away from the objective at the end of the fourth turn

Leaving victory in the hands of the desert fox
