The infantry 'break-in' operations at night that Eighth Army became expert at don't count as propah fighting.

Old saying, when you hear hoofbeats, it's normally horses, even though Zebras would be more exciting.
I see Gooner1 is also here now to add some real value. Yay Gooner, those nighttime pictures from Bardia rock. The assault was timed for nautical twilight, 0530 hours. Don't bother responding, I'm now going back to ignoring you.
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41
