ALAM HALFA RIDGE

On the 31st of August 1942, Rommel
attempted to follow up on his victory at
Tobruk by continuing to attack the
British forces at El Alamein.  After
working through minefields laid almost to
the edge of the Qattara Depression, the
Afrika Korps swung back toward the coast
to the Alam Halfa Ridge.  There the 44th
Infantry Division and the 22nd Armoured
Brigade held fast, with dug-in Grant
tanks and artillery support.  Although
the Germans had the new Mark IV "Special"
tanks with a high velocity 75mm and Stuka
support, the attack still failed.

MISSION

Your "Kittyhawks" have been alerted to
the inbound German airstrike.  You must
stop the inbound Stukas and prevent Alam
Halfa Ridge from getting overrun.

NOTES

This is a day mission.
