Greetings all, welcome to a Desert Fox multiplayer AAR played between me and my opponent, Ian. He played as Germany and I played as the British. We have played this scenario before and it usually ended in stalemate around Bengazi for months and months, with eventual British victory. Today, however, was different. Also, this game featured beautiful icons created by Jusas (which can be found on the modding forum) and the Sexxicolors and Sexxileaders mod created by yours truly . SMEP was also included, but the only change was a bug-fix where Syria joins the Axis no matter what option the Axis player chooses. Finally, the beautiful shields and flags (even when censored ) were provided by Ian for his upcoming (tenatively-named) Sexxiflags mod. And so begins the story of...
As soon as the scenario begins, it's time to run like hell, although I've already encountered the enemy at Msus and immediately broke off the engagement.
The front is stabalized. From here we are relatively safe from the Axis forces, and we begin to dig in. Neither the Italo-German forces nor the British can attack from three or more angles, therefore negating the envelopment penalty/bonus.
Crete seems a theater away from the British forces right now, so only a nominal amount of forces are sent to defend the island. We cannot spare troops in Libya.
Gott begins offensive maneuvers to envelope Axis forces at Forte Maddalena.
Fighting breaks out all along the front as Italian and German forces attack Tobruk. British forces attack from Forte Capuzzo into Mechili to soften the blow that falls on Tobruk. Attacks also land on Forte Capuzzo from the south, so British forces attack from Egypt to assist Auchinleck and Alexander.
Auchinleck takes Mechili and continues towards Derna, only to be held back and forced to retreat eastward.
