	Operation Crusader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Crusader (November 18 - December 30, 1941) was the third, the largest, the longest and ultimately successful attempt to relieve the Siege of Tobruk.
		Eighth Army was reinforced to 7 divisons with 700 tanks (including many of the new Crusader Cruiser tanks, after which the operation was named, as well as the American light Stuart and heavy Grant and Lee tanks).
		Operation Crusader, while it may have proved a limited success, showed Rommel's Afrika Korps could be beaten and is a fine illustration of the dynamic, back and forth fighting which characterized the North African Campaign.

	Crusader
		Crusader is a full spectrum, standoff precision attack system that transforms land power on the 21st century network-centric battlefield.
		Crusader gives the field artillery corps lightweight robotics, new composites, drive by wire capability, a crew cockpit, embedded training, and diagnostic and prognostic software for the first time in one system.
		Crusader’s improved capabilities could be used in contingency operations to reduce the number of sorties required to deploy the Divi-sion Ready Force Artillery from eight to five C-5 and 12 to seven C-17 aircraft, over 40%, for equal cannon fire support or to provide three times the capability with the same lift.

	Italeri Crusader Mk.I
		The first batch of Crusaders did not have stowage bins on the turret rear face and only carried one set of stowage bins on the mudguards, also the auxiliary fuel tank on the hull rear was not carried.
		Crusaders as built were painted in plain green G3, the tanks issued to 22nd Armoured Brigade from February 1941 were to this standard with open mantlet and early headlights, some had wheel covers and some did not.
		Many Crusader I in the Desert also had the later, bulbous mantlet cover as per kit 6385 and that kit is easier to convert to the later Mk I standard, unless you want to model a very early tank this latest release will have limited appeal.

		Again, nobody in his senses would have sent Ritchie to succeed Cunningham in command of the Eighth Army; Richie had not the experience or qualifications for the job and in the end he had to be removed to.
		The enemy, as was to be expected, reacted at once to the threat to Sidi Rezegh, and his armoured divisions evaded the 4th and 22nd Armoured Brigades.
		He then explained to me his plan of operations; this was based on the fact that at all costs the Eighth Army was to be preserved "in being" and must not be destroyed in battle.

	OPERATION CRUSADER from Avalon Hill/Atomic Games
		Atomic Games' OPERATION CRUSADER (henceforth referred to as OC) is the first entry in its fledgling _World at War_ (WaW) series; it covers the early stages (pre-Montgomery) of Rommel's Desert War against the Common- wealth forces in North Africa between November 1941 and December 1941.
		For those not familiar with the V4V series, OC is an operational level wargame (the predominant combat units being battalions) which possesses a structure very similar to conventional board wargames.
		Operation Crusader, while not perfect, is clearly at the cutting edge of computer wargaming.
