What a Tanker - Dust Up in the Desert

Last night's scenario saw the Afrika Korps line up a Panzer II, a short barrelled Panzer IV and a slightly 'out of time' long 50 Panzer III. Against them was a Matilda II, a Honey and a captured M13/40, crewed by some mad Aussies! The objective being to capture and hold the compound in the centre of the table.
The game opened with a curiously one-sided long range exchange between the Panzer II and the Matilda, neither really landing a blow. In the mean time,  the Panzer IV crashed into the orchard opposite the compound, while the Panzer III and the Honey started a race for the wadi on the right flank, just stopping for the odd fruitless pot shot at each other on the way.

Just as the Panzer III and the Honey squared up for a short range slugging match, the Panzer II dashed into the orchard behind the Panzer IV and managed to plant a catastrophic flank shot into the Honey.

On the left flank, the crazy Aussie crewed M13/40 dashed forward from the cover of the Oasis, to crash through the compound wall.

However, spying the Aussie move, the Panzer IV prowled around the left of the compound, trying to get to the Aussie M13's rear. Having had the Honey kill stolen from him, the Panzer III decided to tackle the M13/40 head-on, but neither could really land a blow because of the obscuration by the compound wall.

In an attempt to relieve the hard pressed Aussies, the Matilda eventually lumbered around the right of the compound, trying to get to the rear of the Panzer III. However, their concentration was seemingly thrown off by the Panzer II redecorating the front of the Matilda with repeated 20mm AP strikes!

Deciding the being meat in the M13/Matilda sandwich, the Panzer III crew decided to just crash through the  compound wall, to get a better shot at the M13. This rather startled the Aussies and they failed to land a shot on the now dusty Panzer III, but the Panzer III crew showed no such hesitation, drilling a 50mm round straight through the M13.
At thus point the dust trail of the supporting Afrika Korps infantry could be seen in the distance, so the Matlida decided discretion was the better part of valor and withdrew, leaving the field to the victorious Germans.
