Vertical set up for the campaign game, magnetic style!!
....Rommels counterstrike beats up the 7th Arm with O'Connor badly, and the Brits are lucky to still have some forces, but then Rommel punches again...
His most trusted 21st Pz Div strikes again in the Exploitation phase to finish of the remnants of the trapped 7th Arm (where the pen points to), and rolls the 2!!! O'Connor subsequently breaks out of the thin ring and gets to fight another day... AAARRGH

Operation Compass has begun!
Vertical set up for the campaign game, magnetic style. Detail of the reinforcement schedule.
A cautious Italian advance into Egypt - lessons from history have been learnt; however.....
Compass goes through the German positions like a hot knife through butter; drunken with victory, O'Connor gets a tad too ambitious....
