HQ was a bit unclear with their objective description i see which buildings are important for me to hold but which building should i raid with my "lucky" raidingparty?

Maybe you could add someobjective hexes?

And some hexes are called tramlines trenhces hole? i guess they are supposed to be ice what happened there?

btw thx for all the inventive mission

Sadly, this is all the intelligence HQ is able to provide.

About the ice issue: I have no idea why, but whenever I place ice in the editor, it comes out as that... I will try to get it sorted out.

Ok, here is a fixed version. I also added a map text of the suspected command post.

Sorry for misleading you a bit, but I wanted to achieve an actual surprise offensive for once

Thanks!

After this successful operation you are transferred north into a special task force of mixed nationality, which just came back from the Russian front. The unit is still in a process of refitting and preparing for Rommel's next offensive.

4 months later, on the 26th of May, the long awaited offensive against the British Gazala position finally kicks of. Due to the length of the front line, the Allies are organised in a bunch of "boxes", defensive positions scattered throughout the desert, supported by artillery, tanks and dug-in anti-tank guns. It is your task to take one of them, thus opening the path to Tobruk.

ok i just wrote some text that got lost we have 5 infantry company and one understrength tank company in total. mst of the romanians and bulgarians disapeared from the unit.

several new pieces of equipment have been delivered to the unit on its mission on the spearhead of the advance. KG Hauser/Baggio has now the questionabe honor to go wherever there is trouble.
Especially because they are now linked to the famous Cassadore di africa that are a legend in italia for their march to italian north africa from abyssinia.

half an hour into the attack the dessert already has cost the KG 2 halftracks and around 20 men. The RAF attacked and left its mark even though the FlAK also left its mark on the RAF dmaaging all of the planes and shooting down in flames 3 of them. 2 tanks have been immolbilised nad now the infantry is rechingthe trenches of the british troops.

The hill is hold by infantry and at least 2 companies of tanks which is quite problematic since KG hauser only has one tank company. So far all taht can be done is throw smoke into the line of sight of the english tankers.

it might be up to the infantry again to stuff the tank guns with grenades...

S o after one hour of bloody fighting the battle ended. losses were unusually high in equipment and men. 2 Tanks got dmaged but can be repaired. 3 HT were destroyed by air attack. completey torn apart by 20mm bullets.

Also there were some men injured in the artillery and ad units but most of them will be able to return to duty soon.

like always the infantry was hit the worst but they also won the battle. the tanks and infantry garding the ridge were disabled by them using all kinds of impovised at weapons, flamethrowers and explosives. 3 valentine tanks and one grant were captured more or less intact. Also a huge number of trucks and guns were captured that might replace the destroyed halftracks until further replacements arrive.

lessons learned here are that the airdefense has to be taken more seariously and that the tanks have to act more aggresive to minimise losses to the infantry.

Now the men of the KG take a rest on the ridgeline at least for a few hours until further orders arrive.

as the panzers fill up their tanks and the infantry munitions up it looks poising to continue the attack into the nemy rear now that the box is taken.
