## Description

The Allies' May 1941 Brevity offensive failed to relieve Tobruk but did leave
them in control of the key Halfaya Pass, allowing them to harass the Germans
from the south. Rommel quickly responded with a plan to send 3 panzer
battalions to the rear of the pass to capture it. Enemy unit strengths are
unknown until combat, and supply units can increase fighting strength.
British Matildas as well as artillery are strengths. Company/pltn level,
0.1mi/hex, 30min/turn, 326 counters. R.Heller'13

## Features

- Game of Rommel's first real offensive in north Africa, May 1941, as he strikes out to re-capture the key Halfaya Pass area
- Short, fast-moving game with the more powerful Germans limited by fuel constraints
- Company/platoon level, 0.1mi/hex, 30min/turn (with 12 turns), 326 counters
