Feb. 7th, 1940

The Italian invasion of Egypt collapsed after the British counter attack 
them in December. Falling back to Libya, the remaining Italian units began
to fall apart as relentless pressure from the pursuing British countinued to
mount. In an effort to trap the fleeing Italians, the British 4th Armoured
Brigade set up a series of roadblocks. The hope was that these roadblocks
would delay the Italians till the rest of the army arrived. This scenario
covers one such roadblock, as the men of the 11th Hussars waited for the
oncoming Italians.
