Thanks, Mafi.
I too, first looked over Afganistan and even parts of the Sinai. A few weeks ago I was looking for a good area for a Tobruk challenge. I was ready to select a portion farther to the east where the hard outlines of the anti tank ditches and trench lines still exist, but thought it might be too easy.
There was something about the left side of the positions in your challenge that kept niggeling in the back of my mind..... turning north.... where have I seen that before..... something familiar about that area. I looked around Tobruk and got it within a few minutes.
I'm not sure, but I believe that the area in the challenge photo is just a few kilometres west of where the Germans threw the weight of the armored attack. These positions must have received a tremedous amount of suppressive fires in order to mask the attack coming around from the south and then up through the British lines in a breakthrough attempt.
This line was later abandoned during the second assault in 1942 - The Siege of Tobruk.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
