Scenario Description
Operation Nicety was part of Operation Agreement, which included four simultaneous raids on important Axis lines of communication. The operations were against Tobruk, Benghazi, Jalo, and Barce. The objective of Operation Nicety was to seize the Jalo Oasis in the Libyan desert in order to support the withdrawal of forces involved in the other operations. The attaching unit was designated Z Force and consisted primarily of the Sudan Defence Force, supported by the LRDG's Y2 Patrol. However, when Z Force reached their target, the LRDG was abandoned by the Sudan Defence Force and had to fight alone. The raid was unsuccessful, and the remnants of Z Force retreated to Kufra.

Battle Narrative
Operation Nicety was an operation in September 1942 during the Second World War by Force Z a battalion of the Sudan Defence Force. It was designed to support the raiding forces taking part in Operation Agreement, Operation Caravan and Operation Bigamy. The objective of the operation was the seizure of the Jalo oasis in the Libyan desert to support the withdrawal of the forces involved in the other operations. The operation was a failure: the Germans had discovered the plans for all four operations on the body of a dead officer taking part in Operation Agreement. Forewarned, the Italian garrison at Jalo had been warned and reinforced which easily repelled the attack on the night 15–16 September.
