John Osborne Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I'm looking for any info on maps, OOBs, anything that deals with Operation Battleaxe (14th - 17th June 1941). I know that it involves the 7th Armored Division (Desert Rats), 4th Indian Division against the 5.leichte-Division and the 15.Panzer-Division. Please email me any information josborn110@earthlink.net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Lucke Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Actually, I've posted a scenario at the Depot called "Hafid Ridge", that deals with 7th Armored Bde attack at that place on 15 June 1941. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the scenario "Hafid Ridge" that is but one of many battles that took place during "Operation Battleaxe". There was the battle at "Hellfire Pass" The 15.Panzer-Division did a counter attacked at Fort Capuzzo. Also the 5.leichte-Division made a hook around the British flank in an effort to reach the Halfaya Pass and to try and cut off the 7th Armored Division and the 4th Indian Division from supple convoys and to keep them from escaping back down the escarpment. Plus some small battles that I wont mention right now. ---John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please email me any information josborn110@earthlink.net Ok, let me make it simple now I'm looking for any maps that shows what type of terrain and what the Beau Geste style Fort Capuzzo may have looked like during 1941. I want to make a scenario on the battle that took place on 16 June with the Panzer-Regiment 8. They were ordered to take the Fort once more, but this time with both Abteilungen combined against the 7th RTR and the 4th Indian Div. Any information would help alot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
