Armored Knights North Africa: Operation Venezia (2012)

The German offensive to take Tobruk / May 27 - June 28, 1942

Armored Knights North Afrika - Operation Venezia allows you to plan and fight the battle that won Rommel Tobruk. It was a close and at the same time complete victory for Rommel. His forces made their way around the flank of the British Gazala Line and met with initial success. But after a few days the Germans found themsleves encircled by a strongly entrenched British Brigade, the 150th, which sat astride the German supply route.
Rommel came close the throwing in the towel, within about a day, before clinching success by finally forcing the 150th Brigade to surrender first and open the supply route. Immediately after beating the 150th Brigade the Brtish armour decided to make a final effort to beat Rommel in the Cauldron. They failed and Rommel turned the tables on them. So much so that almost 90% of the remaining British armour was destroyed and gave Rommel his opportunity to take Tobruk and move past the Egyptian frontier wire and towards Alexandria.
