Tobruk: 2x BEN-TOB, BIR-TOB (Allies)
Mersa Brega: BIR-BRE (Axis)

@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.

MAT-SIW [dice 3d10]
BIR-JAL [dice 3d10]
