Product Description ■ In November 1941, the British forces were trying to free the besieged Tobruk, and Rommel was preparing an attack to occupy Tobruk.
Although the British forces were the first to take the lead, Operation Crusader was the first battle by the Eighth Army, and neither the command nor the front-line officers had yet a clear understanding of the nature of the Desert War.
On November 23, General Cunningham, commander of the Eighth Army, decided to stop the attack and withdraw.
Upon learning of this, General Oakinlec, commander of the Middle East forces, flew from Cairo to the front-line command, ordered General Cunningham to be fired, replaced by General Richie, and ordered to continue the attack.
The fierce battle was resumed, and the issue of supply continued to afflict the African forces of Rommel. On the other hand, the supply continued to the Eighth Army.
On December 4, Rommel finally decided to withdraw.
Thus, the Desert War of 1941 was defeated by the British forces, and the siege of Tobruk was dissolved.
The third part of the World War Game Series by Epoch Co., Ltd. is "Fox in the Desert"!
From 18 November to early December 1941, the Desert War was a simulation game of the Desert War fought between the Eighth Army and the Axis forces under General Rommel.
The battle of the Desert became a mobile battle without a clear front line. Rather than the size of the occupied land, the battle of the enemy forces destroyed became a problem.
