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:
Germans passed Tobruk during their advance and the Australian 9th division was left behind to defend the city and it's defensive perimiter. As Rommel is in desperate need to shorten it's supply lines he needs the seaport of Tobruk. Both sides had major problems, as they were short on ammunition, fuel and troops. Rommel had a bold plan to capture the high ground of "Ras El Madauar" and push on to once Italian Fort Pilastrino. During the night two Pionierbataillonen advanced. The next morning the Panzerkompanien rushed towards the gap followed by the Italien Divisione corazzata "Ariete".
