There are problems with this scenario: it cannot be set-up using the standard terrain tiles of Memoir '44 and the selected extensions. There are too many terrains of one or more types. Please contact the author.

Historical Background:
On the 27th of May 1942, Operation Venice (Unternehmen Venezia) allowed the Deutsche Afrika Korps to bypass the Gazala line, but the success was not complete for Rommel. At mid-day, the 21.Panzer Division was north of Bir el Harmat in front of the Knightsbridge strong point defended by the 201st Guards Brigade. At this time began the British counter-attack in the confusion of the fog of war. The 22nd Armoured Brigade attacked from the north-east, the 2nd Armoured Brigade attacked the 15.Panzer Division on the east and destroyed an infantry battalion, the III/115 IR. On the west side, coming from Sidi Muftah, the 44th Royal Tank Regiment (1st Tank Brigade) attacked the 21.Panzer Division and destroyed as well an infantry battalion, the III/104 IR. The battle lasted until the end of the afternoon. In the evening of this day, the Deutsche Afrika Korps had lost one third of its tanks, most of them because of the new allied tank, the M3 Grant, and was isolated in the middle of the British units. The situation was not in favor of Rommel, but he was not discouraged and he continued to apply his battle plan.
