Mission 9 - A Courtesy Call Date: Oct 20 1942 Place: Bab el Qattara Historic Background: October 20, 1942. In El Alamein, a single question remains in everybody's mind: Why does not Montgomery order the attack yet? Meanwhile, the English general builds up an overwhelming superiority in men and equipment before starting the offensive. Objectives: In order to disconcert Rommel's troops before the attack, you will be taken across the line of mine fields in Bab el Qattara to the camp of the 21st Panzer Division. There you will await dawn, destroy as many objectives as you can, and then disappear.
