Desert Rats; Libya 1941
This setup is inspired by the first siege of Tobruk.
The battle was part of a larger campaign waged by
the Afrika Corps to push the Allies out of North
Africa. Rommel was eventually able to throw the
Allies back to the Egyptian border. However,
British and Aussie forces were able to hang onto the
port of Tobruk. The defenders were eventually relieved
after eight months of hard fighting. During the battle
Axis forces referred to them as the "Rats of Tobruk",
but they became known as the "Desert Rats" to the
Allies.
