Bir Hakeim, June 1942:
will Free French Brigade hold its position?.
The Free French Brigade was in position at Bir Hakeim, the southern
position of Gazala line. During Rommel's offensive in June 1942, the
French Brigade resists the first assault by Italian troops. Then the
elit German Afrika Korps units attack the position, which is holding
the whole Rommel's strategy. The "Deux Mamelles" are small elevations
over former Roman water reserves, which are heavily attacked by the
90
th Ligth Division, reinforced by the 33
th
Pioneer Company. French Marines, Legionnaires and African soldiers hold
the position up to the end. The worst assault is Huber's Kampfgrupp
one: French forces are really close to being submerged. Will they hold
it ?
It looks like French positions are a bit too
strong. A proposition is to multiply by two the German bombing
capacity. What do you think of it ? Any feedback is welcome.
Note : for French HQ, use Lenorman's counter from Vae Victis 39, or
Dutertre's counter from Vae Victis 58.
