Overview:
The foundation of Eighth Army's defense was the Alam Halfa Ridge, and the cornerstone of that fuondation was the western spur. By midday the 15th Panzer Division had fought its way to the ridge despite the loss of their division commander. The attack was led by a few Mk IV "specials", whose long-barreled 75mm guns took out severel Grant medium tanks from long range. Just as the 15th Panzer was gaining momentum, however, 5th Royal Tank Regiment was thrown in to stem the assault. -- Scenario 2 of 3 in the Line In The Sand mini-campaign.Attacker: German (21st Panzer Division)
Defender: British (3rd and 4th County of London Yeomanry and 44th Infantry Brigade)

| 2021-10-01 | (D) Richard Jenulis | vs | Dennis Hess | British win | A Line in the Sand (Scenario 2). British played a reverse slope defense. The Germans took one objective, but were ~ two turns behind securing the second and the victory. British high points were shooting down one Stuka and damaging/recalling the second with AA fire. | ||
| 2020-06-21 | (D) Tom Kearney | vs | Walt McWilliams | British win | A Line in the Sand mini campaign. A rate tear by a 6#’er essentially wrecked the German attack. Campaign ended with a British victory. | ||
| 2020-06-20 | (A) walter mcwilliams | vs | Tom Kearney | British win | J80 Egypt's Last Hope Tom and I finally finished up our Line in The Sand mini today, when Tom gave me a god old fashioned butt kicking. Roar has this at 3 to 1 in favor of the Brits, and both Tom and I agree this is terribly difficult on the Germans. Tom one it on turn 2 dph ROF year with a 57L ATG that left me 5 AFV shocked or destroyed. With the 75 longs allout of action Tom counterattacked with the Lee,s to begin blasting away the remaining Germans. It was pointless to continue.. I knew when neither mortar found smoke the long shot wasn't going to play. The options I chose were the 100mm Arty, which luckily came down early, before his AC showed up, I took short barreled 75s to support the infantry , but they were gone before they fired a shot. My final group was the 251smg group. I also chose the marter and placed it in overwatch, where it scored a CH on a Stewart at 20 hexes | ||
| 2016-12-31 | (D) Jim Kloss | vs | Bob Eury | British win | I purchased the extra 6 pounder AT gun and 3" mortar and the 100mm OBA module for the British. the extra 6 pounder was crucial to the destruction of the German armor during its approach to the board 25 hill. | ||
