	Seige of Tobruk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		On 8th April 1941 the garrison of Tobruk consisting of the 9th Division, the 18th Brigade of the 7th Division with British and Indian Troops, came under siege which was to last for 242 days.
		Numerous attempts to relieve Tobruk by land failed and the garrison was supplied by ships of the British and Australian Navies, across seaways dominated by a hostile air force.
		Here the Germans had suffered a serious reverse and the Tobruk garrison had demonstrated that the hitherto successful "blitzkrieg" tactics could be defeated by resolute infantry who held their ground, by defence in depth and by individual courage.

		At the beginning of 1941, the strategically vital port of Tobruk and its Allied garrison was under siege from Rommel's troops and the Luftwaffe and Italian Regia Aeronautica.
		The only air defence standing in the way was a handful of RAF Hurricane pilots, supported by their RAAF and SAAF colleagues.
		Until the last remaining Hurricanes were forced to withdraw from the garrison at the end of April 1941, this gallant band had flown daily against overwhelming odds while Rommel's troops attempted to penetrate the garrison's defences, defended mainly by unyielding Australian forces.

	Campaign Conclusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		By the time the air war resumed the ground force dispositions resembled a layer cake, with allied and axis formations intermingled from Tobruk to the wire.
		The Axis seek to destroy the allied armoured and motorised infantry formations south of Tobruk, while retaining their frontier garrisons at Halfaya "Hellfire" Pass, controlling the pass where the coast road climbs the escarpment.
		As the air battle developed, the Luftwaffe were very concerned about the numbers and quality of the Tomahawk P40 aircraft and rushed several Gruppen to North Africa - II/JG 27ís Me109F were particularly welcome.

	Gazala Tobruk 1942 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Considered by many authors as Rommel's masterpiece, the battle of Gazala-Tobruk was one of the most astonishing defeats of the British army during World War Two, comparable only to the fall of Singapur.
		Despite of being outnumbered both on the land and on the air, the Axis forces imposed its tactical flexibility and superior leadership to the rigidity and lethargy of the Allied command.
		Other outstanding aspects of the rules are the HQ units that give combat support (There are HQ at the Army, Corps, Division levels, and even at Brigade level for independent British Armored brigades); minefields, air support and Allied redoubts or boxes.
