@The_Good_Captain You are right, THAT unfortunately is not clear from the screenshot. I forgot. Are you OK if we just reroll the UK roll and roll the entire battle on the forum?

of course! MAfricaGA

[VictoryFirst]

One supply has to be removed from Mersa Matruh (from the previous turn).
I spend two supply from Tobruk and Cairo each.
You spend a supply from Mersa Brega

the german AA already rolled (miss).

@The_Good_Captain I will lose two infantry from Mersa Matruh. I will press the attack. I draw two supply from Tobruk again, and now one supply from Cairo because Mersa Matruh has 4 units. Will you defend?

Total spent supply so far (mostly a reminder for me):
1 supply from Mersa Matruh (from previous turn)
4 supply from Tobruk
3 supply from Cairo
1 supply from Mersa Brega

[The_Good_Captain]

@VictoryFirst

I will attempt a retreat now. I meant to say that one of the infantry losses should have been Italian from the initial round.

Round 2, UK units fire:

7 infantry [dice 7d10<=2]
1 AT [dice 1d10<=2]

Lol that is unexpected. That wipes out the remainder of your army. No return fire because the Axis attempted a retreat.

Here is the updated mine overview. Notice that the capture of Bir Hacheim resulted in the capture of the mines in BEN-BIR and BIR-JAL as well.

Benghazi: BEN-TOB (Axis)
Tobruk: 2x BEN-TOB, BIR-TOB (Allies)
Mersa Brega: BIR-BRE (Axis)
Bir Hacheim: BEN-BIR, BIR-JAL (Allies)
Mersa Matruh: 2x BIR-MAT, MAT-SIW (Allies)
Cairo: 5x CAI-MAT (Allies)

[The_Good_Captain]

@VictoryFirst I6.tsvg 5 units attack from Siwa and 5 from Jalo. The units from Siwa draw supply from Jalo. The units from Jalo draw from Mersa Brega. The inf attack on Mersa Matruh is supplied from Jalo. There is now one supply left in Jalo.

The units in Bir Hachiem cannot retreat pending the dice roll in MAT-SIW.

I will detonate the mine in MAT-SIW and BIR-JAL. I cannot see why you would not blow them.
