ID03:1=After failing in a bid to capture El Alamein, Axis forces under the command of Field Marshal Rommel established positions from the coast to the Qattara Depression in the south and settled into a defensive stance. Although Rommel's forward defenses were well dug in, the arrival of Allied reinforcements and supplies in the fall of 1942 make now the time to go on the offensive.

Victory at Mareth is imperative in order to allow our forces in the north to move on Bizerta and Tunis, and the responsibility for breaking the Axis grip on North Africa now falls on Montgomery's Eighth Army as Rommel launches an assault on his positions at Medenine.

[Scenario:60]
ID01:1=Operation Compass
ID03:1=When the Italians halted their invasion of Egypt only sixty miles beyond the Libyan border, they were surprised the Commonwealth's bold counteroffensive which scattered their much larger force. With Egypt secure, General O'Connor is given permission to mount a raid into Cyrenaica before the Italian forces can recover from their defeat a Buq Buq.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to capture Sollum and secure Halfaya Pass at Qatala.
ID02:1=As one of the few places where vehicles can negotiate the escarpment rising from the coastal plain to the desert plateau, Halfaya Pass formed a highly defensible line near the Egyptian-Libyan border. Perhaps the most hotly disputed areas in the Western Desert, it became known as Hellfire Pass to those engaged in the bitter fighting over the gap in 1941.
[Scenario:61]
ID01:1=Tobruk
ID02:1=Reeling from their defeat at Halfaya Pass and Bardia, the Italian army retreats to Tobruk with the General O'Connor's Western Desert Force nipping at its heels.
ID03:1=After the fall of Bardia and having suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Western Desert Force, the Italians retreat back to Tobruk. Hoping to maintain the advantage, the Western Desert Force sets off in hot pursuit as the opportunity to seize the important supply port of Tobruk and crush the Italian forces becomes apparent.

ID03:1=The Italian army, decimated by the repeated attacks from the Western Desert Force, attempts to regroup at El Agheila. O'Connor orders the Commonwealth forces to press the advance and crush the Italian army before it can mount a counteroffensive.
[Scenario:169]
ID01:1=Mersa Matruh
ID02:1=After being repulsed in it's assault on El Alamein, the Deutches Afrika Korps has abandoned the Italian forces and is fleeing for the nearest refuge. Commonwealth forces, anxious to avoid the crippling supply problems encountered in previous desert campaigns, though, mount a cautious pursuit of the enemy as they march on Mersa Matruh.
ID03:1=The victory at El Alamein turned the tables on the Axis forces in North Africa. They suffered heavy losses and are in retreat. Rommel's Deutches Afrika Korps abandons the Italian forces and is fleeing for the nearest refuge. Determined to avoid the logistical nightmares encountered in previous desert campaigns, though, Montgomery issues orders to begin Operation Supercharge with a cautious pursuit of the enemy toward Mersa Matruh.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to secure the port of Mersa Matruh, and mop up the faltering Italian forces along the coast road.
[Scenario:171]
ID01:1=Tobruk
ID03:1=Even as Rommel and his Deutches Afrika Korps continue their retreat across Libya, the news of the Allied landings in Algiers and French Morocco threaten the Axis forces with the prospect of being crushed between two armies. Montgomery urges you to press your pursuit with all haste, and allow the Germans no respite during which they might consolidate their defenses. Key to this will be seizing the port of Tobruk, which will deny Rommel the ability to resupply his beleagured troops, as well as strengthen the Allies ability to wrest control of the Mediterranean sea lanes from the Axis powers.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to pursue and destroy the enemy forces, and to capture Acroma and Tobruk.
[Scenario:172]
ID01:1=El Agheila
ID02:1=Axis forces, retreating through Libya in the face of the British advance, attempt to make a stand at El Agheila in order to buy time for the reinforcements pouring into to North Africa at Tripoli. Anxious to cut that supply line, the Allies press their attack toward El Agheila.
ID03:1=Although French opposition to the Allied invasion has been minimal, the Americans have been stalled in Tunisia. From air bases in Sicily, the Germans are pouring troops and aircraft into Tunisia at Tunis and Gabes in order to cover Rommel's retreat and to strengthen their defenses. With Montgomery's supply lines now stretched to the limit, any delay could prove disastrous. Reports from ULTRA indicate the German forces are making preparations for a defensive stand near El Agheila. Montgomery issues orders for you to perform a flanking manuever to the south in order to avoid a costly battle beseiging the defensive lines.
ID04:1=Your primary objective is to capture the towns along the coast road and keep the Axis forces on their heels.

ID03:1=Allied troops from the Torch landings continue to experience set backs and have so far been unable to penetrate the tight perimeter that Axis forces established in the mountainous terrain surrounding Tunis. Given your swift and decisive victory at Mareth, the Combined Chiefs of Staff have decided that the veteran fighting force of Eighth Army should lead the assault on Tunis. Critical to any future action, the uncontested control of North Africa will expose the underbelly of Europe and open up the shipping lanes in Mediterranean Sea for the Allies.

ID02:1=With Axis forces hanging onto the northwest tip of Africa by the barest of margins, the Allies launch an assault aimed at capturing Tunis and driving the Axis from the continent.
ID03:1=The defeat of Rommel at Mareth has forced the Germans to make their final stand in the norhteast corner of Tunisia, but the mountainous terrain there is ideal for defenders. Anchored in the north at Bizerta, Axis forces have established a tight perimeter above the Medjerda Valley with troops well dug in at Medjez el Bab and at Hill 609 near Sidi Nsir. Our British allies have advanced as far as Enfidaville, but their hold is tenuous. This assault on Tunis is critical to any future action as the uncontested control of North Africa will expose the underbelly of Europe and open up the shipping lanes in Mediterranean Sea for the Allies.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to capture Medjez el Bab and then drive to the coast to seize Tunis and Bizerta.

[Scenario:36]
ID01:1=Oran
ID02:1=Axis forces in North Africa, already hard pressed by the British in the east, now face the threat of US troops attacking from the west as they launch Operation Torch. While the Americans pour onto the beaches near Oran, the Axis hopes for repelling the invasion rest with the Vichy-French controlling the port.
ID03:1=In the last months of 1942, British troops' successfully broke out of El Alamein, forcing Rommel into a sustained retreat across Libya. With Axis forces already hard pressed, it is hoped that Operation Torch can crush the Axis forces in a converging attack and open the Mediterranean Sea to Allied shipping. Your transfer to the Center Task Force of Operation Torch has been authorized and you are to assume provisional command of the ground forces there. A great deal depends on the Vichy-French response to the landings. The Combined Chiefs of Staff hope that resistance will be limited, but opposition is certain until the landings in Algeria are a proven success.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to take the port of Oran and secure the towns of La Senia and Tafaraoui.
[Scenario:37]
ID01:1=Kasserine Pass
ID03:1=Despite initial resistance, the Allied forces achieved rapid victories at all three landings and a French cease-fire was ordered in defiance of the Vichy Government. The Germans, however, responded with surprising speed and force. The troops and equipment pouring into Tunis and Gabes from Axis airbases in Sicily threaten to dash any hope for an Allied victory. Ensconced safely behind the Mareth Line, Field Marshal Rommel and his Deutches Afrika Korps has mounted attacks on our positions along the roads from Tebessa and Thala. With the right flank threatening to collapse, the Combined Chiefs of Staff have issued orders for you to join Major-General Patton's forces to recapture Kasserine Pass and lead the drive to the coast.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to secure the passes through the Western Dorsal to recapture Kasserine, and to take the towns of Gafsa and Macknassy.
ID02:1=Despite initial resistance, the Allied forces achieved rapid victories at all their landings in French Morocco and Algeria. The Germans, however, responded with surprising speed and force. The troops and equipment pouring into Tunis and Gabes from Axis airbases in Sicily threaten to dash any hope for an Allied victory. With US forces driving toward the Mediterranean coast, the Germans mount an assault to seize Kasserine Pass and halt the American advance.

ID03:1=Your exceptional performance in the action around Kasserine Pass has created a golden opportunity to deal the Germans a mortal blow. Rommel has left the defense of the Mareth Line to the Italians and is now hastilly attempting to evacuate his troops at Gabes. Remembering his own trials at Dunkirk, Montgomery is anxious to turn the tables on the Germans and has convinced the Combined Chiefs of Staff of the need to turn your advance south to the coast near Gabes and attack the Axis forces in the rear of the Mareth Line.

Victory at Mareth is imperative in order to allow our forces in the north to move on Bizerta and Tunis, and the responsibility for breaking the Axis grip on North Africa now falls on Montgomery's Eighth Army as Rommel launches an assault on his positions at Medenine.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to smash German and Italian forces along the Mareth Line and seize Gabes.
[Scenario:41]
ID01:1=Operation Avalanch
ID02:1=US landings at Salerno
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to relieve the Americans at Battipaglia, and then move on capture Salerno and secure the approaches to Naples.
ID03:1=The Italian surrender on September 3, 1943, allowed Montgomery's forces to cross the Strait of Messina on the same day and land unopposed on the toe of Italy. The German reaction to the surrender, however, was swift and severe. Anticipating the American landings at Salerno, troops were rushed into position and put up a whithering defense. Any hope of a early breakout was soon dashed as the US forces were pinned on the beaches by heavy counterattacks. Meeting little resistance in his advance through Calabria, and with the Salerno invasion force now facing complete destruction, Montgomery presses north to relieve the embattled troops.
[Scenario:206]
ID01:1=Operation Avalanch
ID02:1=On September 9, 1943, the US invades the Italian mainland at Salerno. The unopposed landings on the toe of Italy fuel the Allies' hopes for a speedy victory, but the Germans react swiftly and severely to the Italian collapse. Defenses are rushed into position in the hills above Salerno, ready to rain down a whithering fire as the troops hit the beach.
ID03:1=Still flush from the victory on Sicily, the Combined Chiefs of Staff give the go ahead for Operation Avalanche and the invasion of the Italian mainland at Salerno, designed to exploit the Axis collapse in North Africa and strike at Germany's vulnerable southern flank. The unopposed landings on the toe of Italy fuel the Allies' hopes for a speedy victory, but the Germans react swiftly and severely to the Italian collapse. Defenses are rushed into position in the hills above Salerno, ready to rain down a whithering fire as the troops hit the beach.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to secure the beach-heads, capture Salerno, Montecorvino and Avellino.
[Scenario:224]
ID01:1=Tunis
ID02:1=With Axis forces hanging onto the northwest tip of Africa by the barest of margins, the Allies launch an assault aimed at capturing Tunis and driving the Axis from the continent.
ID03:1=Allied troops from the Torch landings continue to experience set backs and have so far been unable to penetrate the tight perimeter that Axis forces established in the mountainous terrain surrounding Tunis. Given your swift and decisive victory at Mareth, the Combined Chiefs of Staff have decided that the veteran fighting force of Eighth Army should lead the assault on Tunis. Critical to any future action, the uncontested control of North Africa will expose the underbelly of Europe and open up the shipping lanes in Mediterranean Sea for the Allies.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to relieve the Americans at Deja, and to capture Massicault, Tunis and Bizerta.
[Scenario:207]
ID01:1=Hellfire Pass
ID02:1=As one of the few places where vehicles can negotiate the escarpment rising from the coastal plain to the desert plateau, Halfaya Pass formed a highly defensible line near the Egyptian-Libyan border. Perhaps the most hotly disputed areas in the Western Desert, it became known as Hellfire Pass to those engaged in the bitter fighting over the gap in 1941.
ID03:1=When the Italians halted their invasion of Egypt only sixty miles beyond the Libyan border, they were surprised the Commonwealth's bold counteroffensive which scattered their much larger force. With Egypt secure, General O'Connor is given permission to mount a raid into Cyrenaica before the Italian forces can recover from their defeat a Buq Buq.
ID04:1=Your primary objectives are to secure Halfaya Pass at Qatala and to capture Sollum and Bardia.
