Tobruk
A downloadable wargame for Windows
December, 1940. Italy threatens to capture the Suez Canal, but Britain readies a counteroffensive, code-named Operation Compass. Can you outfox the Italians, who have greater numbers, with the elite tanks in your 7th Armoured Division? Can you capture Tobruk before the inevitable Axis counter-attack?
How to play:
(1) Left click on a British unit to select it.
(2) Left click again on a green-highlighted hex to order the unit to move there during the execution phase. (It won't move til then.)
(3) Repeat for other British units.
(4) Hit enter to execute all your moves (and enemy moves) simultaneously.
(5) Press spacebar to step through the execution phase.
(6) Repeat steps (1) thru (5).

Can you include a video on how to play? It's not really making sense to me, sorry...
Thanks for your comment. I'll try to make a video, but in the meantime, left click on your (brown) units and left click within the green highlighted area to give that unit an order. Then repeat for your other units. Then hit enter to end your turn.

Three simple rules: Move; resupply; attack!
