Played turns three and four today. A short post not due to frustration but due to too much going on. Next game day is currently set for May 1 where we hope to get in turns five, six, and seven since they are shorter turns due to a lower number of chits in play.

| The situation at the end of turn 3. The Commonwealth forces made a hasty retreat to Tobruk helped by fortuitous chit draws - they were able to skedaddle before the Axis got most of their move chits) and the fact there were so few of them on the West map to begin with. Combat did not go as well as I hoped either with the lone Commonwealth unit attacked on the West map able to survive the Italian attack and needing cleaned up by the Germans. Probably the worst thing is drawing the best replacements chit early in turn 4 without enough losses to use the replacements though the tank loss being made good is a bonus. |

| The end of turn 4. Combat did not go at all as well as I would like with step loses being nearly even and the Axis can not have win with that kind of exchange ratio. The idea of attacking Tobruk is a non-starter so the Axis will think of bypassing and going for the auto-victory by taking both main victory areas. Most likely not going to happen but it should force the Commonwealth to remove some units from Tobruk. Since the best replacement chit was drawn this turn (and for the Axis it is lose or use) I know the infantry losses I took will not be made good. |
