   ++MISSION BRIEFING++
   “The Australian troops are fighting magnificently and their training is far superior to ours.”   
   Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
    
   Mission Summary:
   The Eighth Army has suffered defeat in the Battle of Gazala and is retreating eastwards toward the Egyptian border, leaving Tobruk isolated. Prime Minister Winston Churchill has emphasized the symbolic value of Tobruk, deeming its loss unacceptable. With vast stores of Allied munitions and arms still within the city, their capture by Axis forces would deal a devastating blow to Allied forces in the region and potentially enable an attack on Egypt. Therefore, Tobruk must be held until all munitions and personnel have been evacuated or a rescue operation can be executed.
   Our role in this operation is to maintain defensive positions to the southwest of Tobruk and within the city itself, resisting German and Italian mechanized and airborne elements until relieved by Allied forces or until surrender of the port becomes inevitable.
   Objectives:
   
   1. Defend the City of Tobruk from German Counterattack and capture.
   Defend against German attacks utilizing defensive positions located at Fort Airenti to delay German/Italian Advance and provide time for evacuation to complete. Defend the City from defensive positions towards the west of the Town and delay German/Italian entry to the town. Defend the fortified port Area with significant Allied supplies/Munitions from German/Italian capture.  
   
   OBJ-1: Fort Airenti.
   Summary: Fort Airenti currently occupies elevated terrain, providing a commanding view of the roads used by advancing German and Italian columns. To progress toward Tobruk itself, this strategic position must be seized by German/Italian forces to prevent rearward fire from the fort and disruptions to their supply chain. Your mission is to hold the fort for as long as possible, allowing Allied transport to evacuate munitions and personnel from the city and to delay any attack on Tobruk. While the fort may belong to another era, it has been reinforced with anti-air and anti-armour emplacements to give you a fighting chance against German and Italian advances.
   
   OBJ-2: Tobruk Trenchworks.
   Summary: Tobruk serves as a vital supply point for Allied forces in North Africa. If it falls, a substantial stockpile of supplies and munitions will be seized by the Axis, potentially leading to an attack on Egypt itself. To safeguard Tobruk, fortifications have been established to the west of the city, creating a robust line of defense against advancing German and Italian forces. Anti-tank and anti-air emplacements are available to help repel attackers, and if necessary, fighting may extend into the city itself.
    
   
   OBJ-3: Tobruk Port.
   Summary: As a major Allied supply port, the port of Tobruk serves as a bulwark in itself. If fighting reaches this area, your mission is to hold off German and Italian advances for as long as possible. However, if it becomes apparent that defeat is inevitable and rescue or escape is impossible, surrender is preferable to the complete destruction of the Allied garrison.
