Operation: "Battleaxe"

From 15th to 17th June 1941, the British Armed Forces’ operation to break the siege of Tobruk in Libya took place under the codename “Battleaxe”.

That was one of the first times during the war that the Axis forces had to fight on the defensive, and at first glance the forces were almost equal. British command predictions were very optimistic.

But they underestimated their enemy and paid a serious price for it - in just over three days of fighting, the British army lost almost 1,000 troops, half the armored vehicles and a third of the planes involved in the operation, while the Italo-German forces, with slightly higher losses in manpower, retained almost all their vehicles.

This operation showed the British command that even when the enemy is faced with disrupted supplies and constant fuel shortages, tactical decisions also play an important role.

From June 15th (13:00 UTC) to June 19th (13:00 UTC) you can get rewards for completing thematic tasks in the event!

Sure… But at least it’s something, right?

I am really feeling too frequent events are not good at game. Your event is feeling disconnected of the history events.
Players may simply tired and losing interests to endless events.
What about letting your artist to paint some more art illustrations and make event unlock more illustrations for players to read. Like unlocking new pages of a story. Completing task to read new chapters.

I don’t care how often you do events like this one, where there are no special rewards.
I don’t feel particularly disappointed if I miss out.

Yeah, Life is full of troubles and bitching…
Right now I am also wondering whether I should report a mistake at work to my boss or hide it from him.

Do the games need to be played in tunisia or anywhere?

exe suffix signals that cancerous battle awaits us

Even if we get an event remembering the events of Operation Barbarossa, I feel like im gonna burnout real hard with the constant spam of events with once a day limits not allowing much flexible schedules when to play during the event period.

I miss old battle.net era… (starcraft, wc2 and diablo1… I’m old.)
