Overview:
On the afternoon of June 10th, Italy declared war upon France and England. At a single stroke, the fight had leapt beyond the confines of Europe to become a "world" conflict. On the 16th, two troops of B Squadron, 11th Hussars, were patrolling the frontier when one of the drivers spotted an Italian column of tanks and trucks, loaded with infantry, moving north along the track on the Libyan side toward Fort Capuzzo. This was reported by radio to the Squadron HQ, even as the leader of the second troop spotted another column eastbound on a converging course. Altogether, the British now had 29 Italian tanks and 70 trucks in view. The Squadron CO ordered an immediate withdrawal. But the first troop had already moved through a gap in the frontier wire and opened fire on the Italians.Attacker: British (B Squadron, 11 Hussars)
Defender: Italian (LX Battaglione Carri L, 62° Divisione Fanteria "Marmarica")

| 2024-04-27 | (A) Andy Beaton | vs | Will Willow | Italian win | There were just too many little Italian machines running around like cockroaches and they were killing me faster than I could stamp on them. Having ATR's as my best AT weapon didn't help. | ||

| 2022-05-23 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | Italian win | As the Italians, I moved my trucks off the board as quickly as possible. My tanks were in the center of the formation along with the truck towing the 65 ARTY. I got the gun into action and it would take out three armored cars in the course of the battle. Dan would get some kills and finish the game and get some victory points, but not 6 more than the Italians had inflicted in CVP. So an Italian victory. |
