The British plan was to make a run for it. The German strategy was to set up the 37mm on the track to cover the nearby road, and place the PzIIIg in the road to delay the preclude use of the road and hopefully reduce their numbers. The other armored units would try to take out the loaded trucks as they exited the wadi.

Only two hours after the two forces made contact, the British had successfully run the gauntlet and got nine steps off the board, thereby earning a clear victory. Although the PzIIIg took out a fully loaded Bren, attacks by the PzIIIg and 37mm against other armored targets were ineffective. The armored cars and halftracks tried to slow the trucks, but poor dice rolls resulted in poor results. The British overwhelmed the Germans in numbers, and simply drove around them.

Perhaps I should have focused the initial German movement on covering the road where it exited the wadi where the British would be bottled up and forced to fight. The strategy in this battle allowed the British to spread out, get some momentum, and hurry through the German positions.
