This will be a "mini-S3" consisting of two frames. After the first frame players will switch countries and feel the other side's pain.
Running 2030hrs EDT, Sunday, May 8th and May 15th. This will be the last S3 of this year's season. iEN will be running a DoA event later in the month.

Rommel and his Afrika Korps are once again advancing eastward. The British Army was defeated in the Battle of Gazala on 27 May 42 and is in retreat towards Egypt. Although the British had hoped to extricate all of their troops eastward, Rommel has trapped the garrison at Tobruk. Rommel is attacking the fortress from the south east, on a line from El Adem (F42) towards the south side of the harbour. Axis armour will be represented by AI GVs (more details on AI will be announced later in the week)

Axis Objective - Protect the GVs of the Afrika Korps from air attack and soften targets along their line of advance.
Allied Objective - Destroy German and Italian ground forces before they reach the harbour at Tobruk.

Tobruk terrain, 38 mi grid
