@OlivieroRuggieri Yes, I agree that in the Torch Scenario the Axis cannot hope to capture Cairo. Best they can manage is to stall out the Allied attack and deny UK income by controlling Malta.

One thing I would recommend is having the Axis retreat from the MM battle during round 8. That way they can fight in Tobruk where you can bring reinforcements and take advantage of the ability to re-roll dice that show a “9” or “10”.

@Matt-Hyra Thanks, that’s what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

@Witt I am a history enthusiast (like all wargamers I think) and I have taught it for many years.

@OlivieroRuggieri

I appreciate the compliment!
If the Axis doesn’t have a sizable 1-2 punch (Italy, then Germany before the UK can land reinforcements), then it might not be worth attacking Cairo.
I’ll leave the real strategy advice to others.
