Is Fortress Tobruk considered an Allied Resupply Placement Area?
As I'm looking over the possibilities for Allied orders in the Tobruk region in the N. Africa 1941 scenario, I see a 1- roll yields a "Retreat" order, which means the units are to head toward the nearest Allied resupply placement area not held by the Axis. Cairo and Alexandria are listed as the places to roll for resupply placement; however, Fortress Tobruk also gets resupply units placed in it on a certain resupply die roll, so I am wondering if units in Tobruk region would retreat toward Cairo/Alexandria or retreat into Fortress Tobruk if it was held by the Allies? Both seem reasonable to me, so it's not obvious to me which is the intent of the design.

Has anyone encountered this situation before?

Thanks for any light that can be shed.

The resupply points are the ones that have the black forked arrow. Tobruk isn't one of them. I can't remember which ones they are, but just look at the map and see where the black arrows are. Those are the resupply points.

There IS a (black outlined) white forked arrow on Tobruk, but those mark both Allied & Axis resupply points. The real clue is in the 'Ressuply Points' boxes at top left & right of the map. Tobruk is mentioned as an Axis supply point once captured, but isn't mentioned as an Allied supply point at all (even though Allied units can be placed there).

Allied resupply.
Roll once for each: Alexandria, Cairo.

Also note: if you roll a 1 you draw 2 extra allied foeces and place them in Fortress Tobruk.
This is the only one case you place allied units in Torbuk
Enjoy the game!
