Thought I would do something VERY small, where I could easily track the detail.
This is a scenario where you command only a Bn, as Allies. Another heroic stand, this time by New Zealanders of the 21st Inf Bn, who were surprised by a strong, armoured axis attack down the coast at Platamon. Their task was to hold the Axis advance for around 2 days, then exit towards the sth as intact as they could manage. It turned out to be an almost impossible task. Again, the Axis arrives with a vast superiority in men and materiel. The 21st Inf Bn has nothing but Boys AT rifles - already obsolete by April 1941 - to hold up the German tanks.
The Commander of 21 Bn is LtCol Macky. Here is the starting position and his briefing:
