D.O.W. Saturday Mission 24/09/16 MADNESS AT MERSA MATRUH by Connaugh SITUATION: After the defeat at Gazala, the Commonwealth has retreated to defensive strongpoints based on the coastal town of Mersa Matruh with the main goal of delaying the Afrika Korps from advancing on Alamein. MISSION: The Afrika Korps is to assault with the intent of capturing the Commonwealth strongpoints and destroy 75 per cent of the Commonwealth force, paving the way for an advance into Egypt. EXECUTION: The Etruscan Infantry Brigades- Trento, Brescia, and Pavia will assault the the town of Mersa Matruh. The Afrika Korps Armored units of 15th Panzer, 21st Panzer, 90th Light, and the Etruscan Armored units of Ariete and Trieste will capture Bir El Hukuma, Charing Cross, and Sidi Hamza. Then assist the Etruscan Infantry by capturing Mersa Matruh. Next, the Armored units will swing east to assault Bir Sarahna, Minqar Qaim, and Bir Kalda. The Commonwealth positions will be defended by the 10th Indian, 50th Northumbrian, and 2nd New Zealand infantry units along with the battered remnants of the 1st and 7th Armored. Two weak battle groups, Leathercol and Gleecol, have been formed to defend the center between Mersa Matruh and Sidi Hamza. A cynical staff officer has described a battle group as a "brigade group that has been twice overrun by tanks".

B23 Leo, Please. Conn

There is an undocumented feature in 4.004 that allows selection of "Activate Cloaking Device". Hence, the unseen T-72 destroying two Blue Leopards.

Issues that I noticed during the mission. All of the other Red Opfor units never moved on my map screen. My 011 tank moved up to the 53 Northing and killed two Blue tanks who obviously could not see me. My 011 tank (at the 53 North line) killing Chrisreb at 52.33 My 011 tank killed by Cavgunner at 52:47 at the 52 North line but I had not moved from the 53 North line. I was told by Assassin that my 012 tank was off the map but my map showed it was within the boundary. DeeKay shooting at my 012 tank in No Mans Land to the East, but is on the map one kilometer to his west. I started noticing my tank jumping around at 1:09. From the AAR

There is no attempt to "persuade" the brain that you are driving a Crusader/Matilda. The "immersion" comes from playing a simulation based on a 1941 WWII battle, but not meant to recreate it exactly as Steel Beasts does not provide Crusaders, Valentines, Matildas, or Stuarts that can be crewed. Also, the opposing forces are not named after the actual participants and the map is only a rough approximation of the real terrain. Including the symbol as well as actual unit ID's is meant to add color or flavor to the scenario. Conn

D.O.W. Saturday Mission 02/07/16 GAZALA REVISITED by Connaugh SITUATION: The Commonwealth has occupied a defensive line running from Gazala on the coast down to Bir Hacheim at its southern end. The 1st South African, 50th Highland, and Free French occupy the defensive positions of the line. In reserve behind the line, are the armored units - 1st Armored with the 22nd, 32nd, and 201st Guards Brigades and the 7th Armored with the 4th and 7th Brigades. MISSION: The Afrika Korps is to breach the Gazala line and capture the defensive positions and destroy 75 per cent of the Commonwealth force. EXECUTION The Etruscan Infantry Brigades- Sabratho, Trento, Brescia, and Pavia will assault the two defensive positions held by the 1st South African and 50th Highland. Due to the extensive minefields in front of the Gazala line, the main armored thrust will involve sweeping around the most southern defensive position, Bir Hacheim, and attack the Commonwealth positions from the rear. The two Etruscan Armored units - Ariete and Trieste, will capture Bir Hacheim at the end of the Gazala defensive line. The Afrika Korps of 15th Panzer and 21st Panzer along with 90th Light will sweep around Bir Hacheim and move north to assault the key defensive position of Knightsbridge, held by the 201st Guards and then destroy the two Commonwealth Armored units - 1st and 7th Armored, then assist the Etruscan Infantry with their assault.
