O Group meets Hellfire Pass

The Cameron Highlanders with Matildas from 4RTR attempting to force Hellfire pass.

The terrain.  The Axis take the left, or eastern, edge of the pass.  I am calling the edge of the hill lines impassable to prevent any unseemly outflanking, but the edges themselves provide good cover.
The hamada rock areas within the pass afford cover but not from view, and are slowing for vehicles.  There is nothing much to hide behind here!

Halfaya Pass held immense strategic importance due to its position as a natural bottleneck in the desert terrain. Control of the pass provided a vital route for military movements between Egypt and Libya, facilitating the supply and reinforcement of troops for both the Allied and Axis powers.

I'm using a Spearhead scenario for this game. 

The advance.  A Coy left, B Coy right

Italian and Germans at The other end of the pass.

The O Group roll for the Brits

Matilda II and Marmon Herringtons lead 4RTR.

And those are pretty nice Minifigs 12mm

The Italians dug in on the ridgeline

The Germans get a platoon down dug into the rock field.

German motorcycle recce platoon goes down the left wall.

German 88's open up on the British tanks

The Cameron's retouch from their trucks to shadow the six Matildas

And the Brute lead with a recce platoon of their own

And a round of 25pdr fire on the Italian A/T guns.

Quite effective artillery fire.

And I land some smoke in front of those A/T guns

And the German losses get them a fubar.

The British do have tank casualties but I send the Cameron's in to sort out the Italian A/T guns.

The Axis inflict more casualties from those 88mms.  

Endgame the Germans get two Fubars and I give it up.  The Matildas cover a three company Infantry attack.  Job done.
