Totensonntag - The First Battle of Sidi Rezegh

The Sunday of the Dead

Hundreds of British tanks went behind the Axis line to catch the Afrika Korps off balance. The Germans turned round and met them on open ground, and the day got its name afterwards.

November 1941, Sidi Rezegh, from either side.

You command battalion and regimental formations across desert with almost nothing on it. Tanks, mechanised infantry and their supporting units, where mobility and timing matter more than where anybody happens to be standing. The Allied player has the numbers and the initiative and needs to take the key ground before it slips away. The Axis player has less of everything and wins by counterattacking at the moment the British are most spread out.

Corps Command

The game runs on the Corps Command system, which is deliberately fast and light. The difficulty is in the manoeuvre and the coordination, not in remembering a procedure.

Hold It Together

Supply and cohesion decide how long a formation stays useful. Push too hard in the wrong direction and you have units on the map that cannot do anything when you need them.
