1)     All infantry strengths are estimated by the author

2)     Company designations for 2/5^th Leics are unknown, those given were assigned by the author. Distribution of British AT guns is also a guestimate based on the units present

3)     The real-life location of the 457^th battery is unknown to the author

4)     The Churchill I stand is an amalgamation of tanks assigned to both squadrons

5)     The low level organisation of KG Lang is unknown to the author. The Vorasus Abtielung is a scenario artifice to represent the tanks that broke through British lines on the 28^th. Tank strengths for KG Lang have been estimated from preceding and following strengths reports. They are probably a little generous.

6)     The T30 was included because of the famous picture showing one at Sidi Nsir. It may well have belonged to the panzergruppe rather than the Panzergrenadiers

7)     II Bataillon 47 IR historically got very lost and never joined the battle
