longname: Siwa Oasis


Briefing:
A deserted desert town is the scene for a lethal combat. Battle rages through the
abandoned ruins as Axis and Allied troops clash for possession of this strategically
vital oasis. It's a fight to the death, with sand. The Allies must infiltrate the
Axis Oasis garrison to destroy two anti-tank guns: either through the Old City or a
flooded cave system. The Axis must protect their anti-tank guns and repel the Allied
raiders. The Axis defences were tougher to crack than the Allies suspected. The
Allies' dismal failure to take the Oasis position by either guile or force has held
up their armoured advance for weeks. Allied Supreme Command are unimpressed with the
quality of troops made available to them. The Axis forces have shown themselves to
be heroically skilled in defence and can rest secure in the knowledge that their
military ability has been proved superior to the Allies. The Axis will retain sizable
forces in North Africa for some time yet. The Allies' daring attack has inflicted an
important defeat on the Axis forces. With the Oasis emplacement destroyed, the Allies
are free to advance. Their flair for attacking strongly held defensive positions
bodes well for their future engagements. The Axis have shown themselves
insufficiently resilient in defence. Despite the advantage of a prepared position,
they lacked fighting spirit and demonstrated a sorry lack of tactical sense. They
will have to do much better to avoid their High Command’s displeasure. This audacious
Allied success may well pave the way for further Axis reverses.
