Overview:
A Line in the Sand consists of three consecutive scenarios that can be played individually or as part of a mini-CG, Rommel’s Remedy (269), Egypt’s Last Hope (270), and Twisted Knickers (271). The mini-CG is also perfect for team play, with each of the three teammates playing one scenario. The three scenarios provide a cross-section of the fight at Alam Halfa in the dog days of the summer of 42. Each scenario uses the LitS Special Rules and each scenario draws part of its order of battle from the Operational Force Pool Table chart. (Pete Shelling’s full article on LitS appears is ASL Journal #5.)Attacker: German/Italian (15th and 21st Panzer Divisions/Ariete Division)
Defender: British (2nd New Zealand Division/3rd and $th County of London Yeomanry/44th Infantry Brigade/3rd RTR/Staffordshire Yeomanry)
