Battle of Bardia 1941

Description
Australia vs Italy on the terrain of Tobruk.

The Battle of Bardia was fought over three days between 3 and 5 January 1941, as part of Operation Compass, the first military operation of the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. It was the first battle of the war in which an Australian Army formation took part, the first to be commanded by an Australian general and the first to be planned by an Australian staff. Major General Iven Mackay's 6th Division assaulted the strongly held Italian fortress of Bardia, Libya, assisted by air support and naval gunfire, and under the cover of an artillery barrage. The 16th Infantry Brigade attacked at dawn from the west, where the defences were known to be weak. Sappers blew gaps in the barbed wire with Bangalore torpedoes and filled in and broke down the sides of the anti-tank ditch with picks and shovels. This allowed the infantry and 23 Matilda II tanks of the 7th Royal Tank Regiment to enter the fortress and capture all their objectives, along with 8,000 prisoners.


**Get your boys together and show those Italian's what Aussies are made of!**

(Or play as the Italian's and change history!)

no problem, edited the scenario to replace the Crusaders with Churchills, and set the Independent Commander to 'Player'. All fixed. Now I can play Aussies in SP. Thanks for the scenario.

yes you are right...... i think a year ago IFA3 devs removed alot of the tanks/vehicles in from the british/commonwealth faction because someone copied the models from another game. Unfortunately there is no replacement for the tanks that were present in this scenario........ which is unfortunate.........

Yep, that works. Looks like IFA3 may have broken compatibility as some tanks are invisible now.

i think you need to load the mission as LAN as ARMA commander is not designed to be played via singleplayer menu

in SP, how does one play as the Aussies. Game starts as Italian commander, and while you can team switch to Aussies, the Request function is locked to Italy.

Ok - arma commander got updated so you can use resources to replenish and rearm troops that are not in active combat!

Good scenario, but it is less able to place an arsenal.
