Gazala Line

**Gazala Line** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

Generaloberst, more than a year has passed since you first arrived in the desert. You failed in your first attempt to take Tobruk and march into Egypt; this year, you must succeed. The plan you have proposed to overcome the Allied defenses on the Gazala line has great merit. OKH agrees that a frontal attack would be wasteful; your idea of a sweep around the southern anchor of the line at Bir Hacheim is clearly the better way. Once you engage and destroy the British armored reserves you will be positioned to threaten Tobruk directly and the Allies will have no choice but to abandon their line and fall back from the Gazala positions. They will then be exposed, and can be cut off and destroyed. Of course, no plan survives first contact with the enemy, and the English have had quite a while to prepare surprises of their own. Some information has been passed to your staff regarding possible SAS raids into your rear, for example. Probably rubbish. Note well that the Allies seem to have neglected the defenses of Tobruk since the siege ended. If the coming battle goes as we expect, you may find Tobruk a far easier objective than last time!

### Decisive victory

A stunning victory, Herr Generaloberst! Let me be the first at OKW to congratulate you.  History will record this as your greatest accomplishment. Tobruk lies almost defenseless before you, and a choice is now open: do you attack Malta, or proceed to Egypt? Seizure of Malta will, along with the long-awaited and now certain fall of Tobruk, relieve the supply problems that have always limited your Afrikan operations. A new realm of strategic possibility will open. On the other hand, a rapid thrust to Egypt and seizure of the Canal may be a death blow to the British Empire and open equally bold prospects for a further advance to the East. The choice is yours!
