<r> Turn 8<br/>
<br/>
Sweet success! I always loved Ronnie "Raygun" for never being afraid to go squash little punks like them and delivering a very clear message to the other punks of the world.<br/>

<r> Turn 7<br/>
<br/>
And the end is near. The noose is in place as the last fighters are pocketed ready for destruction. They refused the offer of surrender so death shall be thy reward.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>

<r> Turn 6<br/>
<br/>
Almost there. The last of the objectives have been captured and now its only a matter of time before the remaining few fighters are surrounded and give up the ghost. <br/>
<br/>
The Militia in the red circle is the last element from a Btn that has already succumbed. They ...

<r> Turn 5<br/>
<br/>
We are now in "mop up" mode. The push east is going well and the few enemy troops in the north were defeated swiftly. The plan now is to try to "pocket" the remaining Cubans & Grenadians who foolishly continue to fight and retreat, mostly retreat.<br/>
<br/>
With the push ...

<r> Turn 3<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
The students and the Governor are safely off shore now in their evac sites and the enemy turned tail and ran with very little encouragement so now I'm looking at capturing the objectives including the Airport on the east coast. The interdiction job from the air troops ...

<r> The entire time I played this one (all 6 times) all I could think of was Clint Eastwood's Hamburger Hill (and the shower scenes). Of course we can't forget "The Ayatollah of rock & rollah." firing up that bulldozer to pave the way up the hill for the USMC Recon platoon.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, this ...

<r> Ah, success is sweet!<br/>
<br/>
Remember noobs, this is a defensive battle. Trying to take the Afrika Korps on head to head is suicide and will lose you the game. <br/>
<br/>
It's all about defense and deception. By keeping a large enough force in the southeast of the game map and being a ...

<r> Turn 12<br/>
<br/>
The end is near in this 12 turn scenario. The US units have done a masterful job in out maneuvering Rommel's fearsome Afrikan Korps.<br/>
<br/>
Again I sidestep the assaults and give the Germans two more minor objectives. The US troops have done their job well in ...

<r> Turn 11<br/>
<br/>
Sidi Bou Zid is captured by the Germans. I again stepped out of range and just gave it to them.<br/>
<br/>
By now everyone is flagging and in red or orange with low Readiness percentages. The Germans continue trying to take and hold objectives only to leave something else ...

<r> Turn 10<br/>
<br/>
With Rommel sending his troops all over the place they forgot to cover an important objective (again) so I slipped a unit south and grabbed control of Thelepte.<br/>
<br/>
That Arty unit circled in red is in the red simply from road marches back and forth between Bou ...

<r> Turn 9<br/>
<br/>
Turn 8 saw little in the way of any reportable action so...<br/>
<br/>
The Tunisian Waltz goes round and round.<br/>
<br/>
As you can see the Germans are once again ensconced in the objective south of Sidi Bou Zid and since they didn't seem to care much about it I slipped ...

<r> "Hans, why can't komand make up their minds???? Here we are back at Kasserine again!" "I wish I knew old friend. Here have some schnaps I've been saving. It doesn't look like we will really do any fighting anyway." Glug, glug. "Oh. good stuf Hans, danke."<br/>
<br/>
Yep, the Bou Chebka assault ...

<r> Turn 7<br/>
<br/>
The Tunisian Waltz continues near Sidi Bou Zid. Again, I just sidestep the assault and let them come. Meanwhile I started digging in at the road junction to the north and a small armored force is west bound to shore up the Kasserine defense.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<IMG ...

<r> Well it appears they want to party at the Bou Chebka pass and all their Kasserine units have returned to their original positions there. I can only imagine the grumbling that the German troops were doing over all those road marches.<br/>
<br/>
Now Kasserine faces no threat and the new forces ...

<r> Turn 6<br/>
<br/>
Now all the action is centered to the southeast and eastern marches. The Germans really wanted Sidi Bou Zid so we just stepped south and retook the 3 spots they vacated.<br/>
<br/>
To the north a bit my troops have taken away that EP on the east edge of the map and occupy ...

<r> Oh Rommel! What are you doing?<br/>
<br/>
Suddenly the assault forces disappeared! I was shocked to tell the truth. We heard a lot of comotion during the night and were prepared for the worst, but when the sun leaped above the horizon in the morning all we saw was tracks in the sand. The ...

<r> Turn 5<br/>
<br/>
Apparently they noticed the retaking of those little objective towns and um, objected adamantly. Some more side stepping and the dance is on.<br/>
<br/>
The attempt to eliminate the pocketed German unit failed and I decided to not press the issue in favor of living to fight ...

<r> Turn 4<br/>
<br/>
The defense at Kasserine and Bou Chabka are about as good as they're going to get at this point. As you can see, the SP/EP to the south is now occupied by my Brit AC unit and they were never challenged.<br/>
<br/>
The Germans have begun to form their assault forces, but ...

<r> With the German SP/EPs taken care of I captured the two objectives south of Sidi Bou Zid and SBZ as well. Rommel's forces now have only one SP left.<br/>
<br/>
Meanwhile north of SBZ I surounded the unit in that objective hoping for an easy Evaporation. Also more troops are coming in at our SP ...

<r> Turn 3<br/>
<br/>
The two defenses are firming up and reinforcements are trickling in from the Allied SP/EPs in the north.<br/>
<br/>
The Armored Cav unit waits patiently to pounce.<br/>
<br/>
