EL AGHEILA
Commonwealth Forces
1. Mersa Brega
- Willys MB [x1] - Available only in 1942. Can be replaced by Bedford OX.
- Daimler Mk. I [x1] - This outstanding armored car had delays in production, and became available only in 1942. Can be replaced by a Dingo Mk. I or even a Vickers Mk. VIB.
- Crusader Mk. I (late) [x1] - Available only in 1942. Can be replaced by a Cruiser Mk. IVA.
- Stuart II [x1] - This tank arrived in late 1941. Can be replaced by another Cruiser Mk. IVA.
- Sptifire Mk. Vb [x1] - Again, as a compromise between playability and historical accuracy, we could use a Hurricane Mk. IIC. Your call.
2. El Agheila
- Flak 38 [x1] - German AA gun. By this time, British couldn't have captured some of these, so must be replaced by the Bofors.
- M3 AT [x1] - American AT gun. Must be replaced by the British counterpart, 2 Pdr.
- Willys MB [x2] - Ditto.
3. Fortress
- M3 AT [x1] - This gun, as mobile, spawns in a very secluded position, so I don't think replace it by a 2 Pdr. makes sense. By the way, some of these are already positioned along the fortress, so this particular gun can be deleted.
4. Maaten Giofer
- M3 AT [x1] - Ditto
- Willys MB [x2] - Ditto
5. Frontline
- Flak 38 [x1] - This AA gun spawns in a trench position, so can't be replaced by a Bofors. Instead, we could use a Bren AA mount here (Yes, different firepower but historically accurate.)
- M3 AT [x1] - If replaced by a 2 Pdr., the gun will have a very narrow and defilated arc of fire, but anyway can be intersting in some situations.
6. Outpost
- M3 AT [x1] - Can be deleted; enough AT firepower in this flag already, IMO.
- Willys MB [x2] - Ditto.
German/Italian Forces
To make default kits balanced between the two nations, we could exchange the Italian assault kit by a German one. We would have the MP40 replacing the Beretta, and a little bit more German soldiers walking around.
This way, we have 3 options for the Germans and 3 for the Italians.
1. Marble Arch
- AS-42 Sahariana [x1] - Instead of replacing it by another Italian vehicle, we could use the German SdKfz. 231 (beautiful armored car, often forgotten).
- Panzer II Ausf. F [x1] - This version started production only in March 1941, so it hasn't arrived in time for this battle. Replace it by the earlier Ausf. C.
- Semovente da 47/32 [x1] - This SPG, even outdated, started to appear in NA only in the second half of 1942. So, we can replace it by another M13/40.
- Traffic jam - in this flag, there are simply too many transport vehicles. If I'm recalling it right, there are at least 5 Fiat 508, 2 Kubelwagens, plus trucks and APCs from both nations. I think we could see a reduction here, but, again, it's up to you.
2. Frontline
- PaK 38 [x1] - First used in combat in April 1941. Could be replaced by the PaK 35.
3. Outpost
- PaK 38 [x1] - Ditto.
4. Maaten Giofer
- PaK 38 [x1] - Ditto.
5. Fortress
- PaK 38 [x1] - IMHO, this gun spawns in a worthless position, so it could be deleted.
6. El Agheila
- Pak 38 [x1] - Ditto.
