   ++MISSION BRIEFING++
   “The Australian troops are fighting magnificently and their training is far superior to ours.”   
   Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
    
   Mission Summary:
   Tobruk has fallen. Following the defeat of the Eighth Army in the Battle of Gazala, the retreat eastwards toward the Egyptian border left Tobruk isolated and subsequently captured. In response, General Auchinleck has adopted a strategy of delaying the Afrikacorps and its Italian allies by establishing an effective line of defense at El Alamein. The Qattara Depression effectively prevents Axis armor from maneuvering around the southern flank of our defenses, forcing German and Italian armor to confront our anti-tank positions head-on.
   Our role in this operation is to maintain defensive positions to the southwest of El Alamein and within the city itself, resisting German and Italian mechanized and airborne elements until relieved by Allied forces or until retreat from the town becomes inevitable.
   Objectives:
   
   1. Defend the City of Town of El-Alamein from German Counterattack and capture.
   Defend against German attacks utilizing defensive positions located at the main Defensive Box to hold off the main German/Italian Advance. Defend the Town from defensive positions towards the south west of the Town and delay German/Italian entry to the town. This is the final line of defence before the town and the only means remaining before retreat will be needed. If Afrika Corps and Italian Army Elements reach the town retreat will be essential to preserve the Army from total destruction. Defend the Town and provide time for 8th Army Elements to evacuate essential equipment.  
   
   OBJ-1: Main Defensive Box.
   Summary: The main Defensive Box occupies elevated terrain, providing a commanding view of the desert used by advancing German and Italian columns. To progress toward El Alamein itself, this strategic position must be seized by German/Italian forces to breach our first line of defence and reach the second line. Your mission is to hold the Defensive Box for as long as possible. The line has been reinforced with significant anti-air and anti-armour emplacements to give you a fighting chance against German and Italian advances.
    
   OBJ-2: Support Trenches.
   Summary: The Support Trenches serve as a second line of defence and supply point for the first defensive line. If it falls, the final line of defence will be El Alamein itself, fortifications have been established to the west of the town, creating a robust line of defense against advancing German and Italian forces. Anti-tank and anti-air emplacements are available to help repel attackers.
    
   OBJ-3: El Alamein.
   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.
