Starting a western desert mini campaign with my dad pitting the 8th army versus the Afrika Korps in a set of desert battles fought in the middle of a heat wave in Spain.
We start with the arrival of Rommel on Cyrenaica, the desert fox launching a lightning assault on the british soldiers protecting Egypt
Spearheaded by a Valentine the brits move to secure the objectives
But their spirits sink when a panzer IV shows up and destroys the british tank with a single shot
The germans taking the chance to move towards the objectives behind the armoured beast
Command breaks down with some activation blunders, the desert rats opening fire on their own
And the germans running away from the foe
In the midst of this chaos the germans keep pressing the attack at bayonet point
Slaughtering a squad and then diving for cover
With time running out the nazis launch a last and successful charge that sees the center objective taken
But since the tank cannot capture a second objective as per scenario rules the germans end up losing
