Well well, the Eastern (Africa) Front has opened up in July 1940.
Meeting Engagement against GB in East Africa, probably Kenya or Somaliland.
Main features of the map are as follows
Road running E-W along the north of the map.
Stream running E-W along the south of the map.
Medium forested and some cultivated clearings.
Looks to be more of an infantry fight as little opportunities for armour to roam.
Battle plan is as follows with company boundaries.
1st Coy to advance swiftly down the road with Scout Team and ATG on Motor Transport leading. To dismount near the 1st unclaimed objective flag and then proceed on foot with infantry leading. ATG and HMG section to set-up firebase on high ground.
2nd Coy to advance 2-up with our tanks leading the way. As usual, the tanks will try to find and where possible, destroy the EN tanks.
3rd Coy to advance 3-up, and when the terrain constricts, to reduce frontage to 2-up. The boundary between 2nd and 3rd Coy is the stream itself. A rather convenient boundary.
Air recon will provide eyes and ears over the centre of the map and hopefully spot EN tank movement.
