Operation Crusader

19th November 1941

Operation Black Sand was deemed a success. Most of the enemy artillery batteries and supply depots have been destroyed, and now the 8th Army has a clear advantage over the Africa Korps. Montgomery now wants the Panzer force destroyed to such an extent that they can no longer threaten the campaign's future. As such, High Command has devised a plan to cut off the main escape route of Erwin Rommel's Panzer force.

You will be playing as a part of lightly armoured infantry with the task of securing two towns ahead of a supporting armoured element. Once accomplished, you will be tasked with assisting the British armour in advancing to the town of El Gharbiya, where a large Axis garrison is believed to be currently setting up a second line of defence. The town is situated inside an old colonial fort and houses a small logistical and repair facility that Rommel has used frequently.

We aim to surprise the enemy garrison at El Gharbiya so they won't be able to aim their guns at us when we come from behind. The main goal is to retake the town before Rommel's Panzer force retreats there. We must ensure they won't notice that they will retreat into our forces. You will move to your first objective just before dawn to avoid detection. The RAF will have the role of destroying known radio stations situated in the area. They will also provide air support and destroy any Axis units trying to retreat from your first two objectives.
