(Thank God that never happend. The DAK was never provisioned for this.
Medium diff, no losses, 28 turns, I think.
Once again, you are fighting two different battles. I split them up between the Italians and the Wehrmacht, but you dont have to do this.
I upgraded all my 88 AT to Stugs (necessary, I feel) and my Italians got 3 heavy arty. Also bought a heavy K18 long range arty for my Wehrmacht.
1. In the north, I deployed the Italians. This is a defensive battle at first, then you slowly push towards El Alamein.
2. At first, you dont get your full airforce. Deploy just fighters in the north - Italian Folgore hold the north, FW 190s fly to the south.
3. I put my 3 Bersaglieri in the north with one semovente AT to cover them and one AA behind it. 3 heavy arty support this funfest, also 2 Italian tanks and one light tank. Prepare for 2-4 turns of heavy fire and New Zealander's attack, then not that much. Begin to slow push towards El Alamein after that. Prioritise arty fire, reinforce Italians as necessary. This is just a feint, so act accordingly.
4. In the south is where shit is gonna go down. Deploy your Wehrmacht here: Prepare for no mercy going for the jugular; this is Blitzkrieg. I put 3 PzIV F2 and 3 Stugs, one heavy Wehrmacht K18 arty, one paratrooper with halftrack, one inf with halftrack, 2 italian engineers with trucks and one German eng with trucks. While the north is heavy action during the first 4-6 turns, the south is where this battle will be decided. So pay attention. Aim your Wehrmacht with tanks, Stugs, paratroopers, engineers and so on towards Alam Halfa ridge. Dagger to the heart.
4. Your engineers slowly push through the minefields in the south (deploy them in the front first, then move to second line). Stugs follow close by, have them cover your infantry all the time.
5. South of your southern position (yes, double adnominal), the British have some light units waiting to pounce and hit your flank. Dont let them get you.
6. When gaining traction south, position one Stug and 2-3 inf around the road junction facing the massive British force in the middle. Counterattacks will come.
7. Around turn 7, you get more air CP and can finally deploy your Stukas in the south. Use them as mobile arty, push towards Alam Halfa ridge. You need them in the south, not the north.
8. Generally, have your Stugs cover all your tanks and all your infantry. The British will counterattack heavily and your Stugs cover your tanks as well as inf. Push slowly, but determinedly - with Stugs in the second row, you will win.
9. Cut off Alam Halfa Ridge from the north supply point. Hold the road junction in the middle between the road going north and going west. Deploy 2-3 inf with a Stug, have heavy arty and Stukas on their way back to the southern airfield on standby. This way, when the British realize you will cut them off, you will be prepared for their counterattack.
10. After seizing Alam Halfa Ridge, push north toward the supply primary. Beware of minefields (here, and in general).
11. Finally, push towards the final British supply hub. Knock out the bunker, everything else will fall.
TLDR is: Italians hold the north and slowly push towards El Alamein after 5-8 turns, Wehrmacht pushes for Alam Halfa ridge aggressively. Stug covers everything and wins the day (counterattacks bounce off). Stukas are mobile arty for the southern push. Aim for supply points, not the numerically superior British.
Anyways, this plays totally different from Panzercorps and the previous DLCs Blitzkrieg and Panzerkrieg. Aim for the supply points and you will win and triumph over a numerically superior force.
