Halfaya Pass*
*
Date: April 27, 1941*
*
Battle Type: German Advance vs British Delay*
*
Design: Boris Ajdukovic*

Background: April 1941 was a month of dramatic reversals in the war in North Africa. Rommel started a campaign against the British and in a period of 4 weeks swept hundreds of miles eastward toward Egypt. On April 27, his forces sped into Halfaya Pass, taking it from the British and a few days later, Sollum was in German hands as well.*
*
Map Notes: The map is based on topographical maps, photos and drawings of the region. A compression of distances was done to a moderate extent to allow certain tactical obbjectives to be placed on the map.*
*
Scenario Notes: The Germans are advancing rapidly, frequently overtaking the retreating British forces. Their objective is Halfaya Pass, with Sollum as a major secondary objective. The British are trying to organize a defense to prevent this, however the situation is someone confusing due to the British command structure. Retreating British forces are due to arrive at any moment along the Via Balbia as they pull back from Bardia.*
