Timeline - when to go to the Mediterranean?

Sorry, it's been a long time since I played Jedco's "The African Campaign", I was just going from memory. I loved gaming the ambush outside Bengazi the 11th Hussars pulled off. Isn't there a motorised infantry brigade of Poles running around North Afrca in December as well?

Things get interesting, none the less. Lots of RN units scurrying about.....one of these days I'm gong to check out the campaign layers in the Med and see about turning up at Matapan and turning the tables on a few uppity battlecruisers to help out Mussolini. Also keen to get a few hits on that convoy Churchill ran straight through the Med full of tanks.

The Carpathian Rifle Brigade was deployed to Tobruk in the second half of 1941. Before that they were used as garrison troops well behind the front.

Cheers-I knew I remebered those guys! That was a handy little counter in "The African Campaign"-they got blooded pretty early on in my games as they were great for soaking up casualties.
