This week's map will be played this Friday 4th of February

Montebourg Station, France, 10 June , 1944



The simultaneous attack on 10 June of the 505th Parachute Infantry on the left proved more difficult, largely because of the nature of the tactical problem. The regiment was to take the Montebourg Station and le Ham. The latter town was the western anchor of the German defense line and was situated on the Merderet between two small tributaries.



The plan of attack was for one battalion to seize the Station and defend to the north while the 2d came up behind and then swung west between the creeks to le Ham. The first part went well. Under heavy artillery rolling ahead of the attack, the 1st Battalion reached its objective within six hours of the jump-off. The 2d Battalion, following the 1st slightly farther north than intended in order to avoid flanking fire from the left, turned to attack le Ham along the axis of the Montebourg road.

FH2 Campaign #8: Devil's Garden

Beda Fomm




 
In late January 1941, the British learned that the Italians were evacuating Cyrenaica along the coastal road from Benghazi. The British 7th Armoured Division under Major General Sir Michael O'Moore Creagh was dispatched to intercept the remnants of the fleeing Italian Tenth Army via Msus and Antelat while the Australian 6th Division chased the Italians along the coast road round the north of the Jebel Akhdar mountains. The poor terrain was hard going for the tanks, and Creagh took the bold decision to send a flying column on wheels only south-west across the virtually unmapped Libyan Desert. In the afternoon of 5 February 1941, Combe Force arrived at the Benghazi – Tripoli road and set up road blocks near Sidi Saleh, some 20 miles north of Ajedabia and 30 miles southwest of Antelat. The leading elements of the Italian Tenth Army arrived 30 minutes later...

El Agheila




 
Following their destruction of the Italian Tenth Army in Operation Compass, the British Western Desert Force halted their advance at El Agheila in February 1941 so that units could be sent to assist in the defence of Greece. On February 14 the first units of the Afrika Korps started to arrive in Libya under General Erwin Rommel. Rommel starts his first offensive in North Africa by attacking the British forces near El Agheila...

Fort Capuzzo




 
On 26th of November, 15th Panzer Division bypassed Sidi Azeiz and headed for Bardia to resupply, arriving around midday. Meanwhile the remains of 21st Panzer Division attacked northwest from Halfaya towards Capuzzo and Bardia. The Italian Ariete Division who were approaching Bir Ghirba from the west, were ordered towards Fort Capuzzo to clear any opposition and link with 21st Panzer. They were to be supported by 15th Panzer's depleted 115th Infantry Regiment which was ordered to advance with some artillery southeast from Bardia towards Fort Capuzzo. The two battalions of 5th NZ Brigade positioned between Fort Capuzzo and Sollum Barracks were engaged by the converging elements of 15th and 21st Panzer at dusk on 26 November.
