Briefing:
The once-peaceful desert town of Tobruk is torn asunder as Axis and Allied forces
struggle for tactical and strategic dominance. Tobruk's narrow backstreets and
byways are the setting for a desperate face-to-face clash of elite forces. It's an
all-or-nothing fight to the death. The Axis are guarding a hoard of gold in the
Tobruk Central Bank. The Allies must steal an Axis Jagdpanther to blow the bank
open, steal the gold bars and drive them to safety in a Truck. It would appear
that the confidence of the Allied Supreme Command has been misplaced. The
opportunity to win a major tactical and propaganda victory has been squandered by
the inadequacy of the Allied effort. This abortive raid failed miserably due to
deficiencies in Allied skill and courage in the face of the superior fighting
ability of the stubborn Axis forces. Their notable excellence in defence directly
reflects their expertise and bravery. With men such as these the Axis can look
forward to many further victories. The verve and panache of the Allied forces has
done much to raise the hopes of their Supreme Command. Demonstrating an impressive
command of all the elements of modern warfare, the Allies have won an inspiring
victory: this daring smash-and-grab raid has shown that the Allied forces are fully
a match for the Axis forces. On the other hand, the Axis forces are fighting as if
the war has already been lost. The Axis forces will have to do better than this if
they hope to avoid a transfer to the Eastern Front where their suntans will impress
neither their comrades nor the waiting Russians.
