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:
Operation Crusader, July 14th 1942: As the Axis forces dug in, Auchinleck planned to attack the Italian Pavia and Brescia Divisions in the centre of the front at the Ruweisat ridge. His policy "to hit the Italians wherever possible in view of their low morale and because the Germans could not hold extended fronts without them." The intention was for the 4th and 5th New Zealand Brigade to attack northwest in the night to seize the western part of the ridge and on their right the Indian 5th Infantry Brigade to capture the eastern part of the ridge. On the left, the 22nd Armoured Brigade would be ready to move forward to protect the infantry as they consolidated on the ridge. But they had to be wary of Rommel and the 15th Panzer Division. The attack commenced at 23:00 on 14 July.
