Memoir' 44 Breakthrough Scenario: Battle of Alam el Halfa - August 30 - September 07, 1942

Here is the setup for a Breakthrough scenario recreating this portion of the epic El Alamein battle. It used virtually all my British and German figures and tanks.

These are the initial dispositions for Montgomery's forces showing a strong defensive line protected by extensive minefields and sandbags lining the ridges and dunes. The tanks were used in an anti-tank role and ordered not to venture out and engage the German armour which is interesting. This worked historically.



Some close ups show the railway line next to the coast with three victory tokens for the Germans to seize if they make it that far.

The cat engaged in some nightime operations. I was unsure whether it was acting as a Rat or Fox in this game. Fickle animal!
