So, was the battle plan realistic? Will history repeat itself and will the Allies chase the germans out of Afrika?

Did anyone suggest a diplomatic solution? Think outside the box, guys.

The diplomats had their chances in 1938-39. When civilian diplomats drop the ball, it falls to the soldier.

@warhammergrimace – it comes down to the wire.

@Rot6 – yep, it comes down to the last big game between Charlie and @johnlyons.

that game was an obvious win. watch the last few seconds of stream, its 100% a british win 😀

They told me it was a draw. So I just go with what they’re telling me. 😀 If that last game with Charlie / John really was a Britsih win, it totally changes the outcome of the campaign, though. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

Are the brits at Tobruk getting rescued then?

@collins – the British garrison in Tobruk is definitely doing well – it remains to be seen whether 7th Armoured / XXX Corps can reach them over the airfield at Sidi Rezegh.

@patrickkyle82– stay tuned! 😀

I like the fact that this was visible to all throughout the bootcamp – giving people a feel for their army / theatre beyond the generic “Desert Rats in the desert”.

We can start something similar for an online campaign, @beardragon14.

Thanks, @georgesealy.

difficult to see look to be moving to the brits win overall.

Kind of is looking like the Germans won the campaign

More turns of fortune are in store, @zorg and lupa15. Overall, the British started strong and the Germans started playing catch up. Would they pass the Brits and wind up on top?

Quite a few German victories in that last round by the looks, can’t wait to see what happens from here.

Thanks, @fireblarney and @folerox – the campaign definitely takes a fateful turn at Sidi Rezegh.

Please, tell us more about that. It Looks cool and cries for repetition, setting it up with your own gaming group or whatever.
