Axis turn 4 (continued)


I must admit that the athmospere in our HQ was a bit
Eurphoric. Blinded by our intial succes an all out attack
on the British amoured unit and its support troops where
Issued by me! Everything that could drive, walk or creep
Where ordered into the attack. The men where in such a high
Spirit that they would have tolerated heavy causilties in the
attack.

Axis turn 4.

I submit the units orded to attack.

Axis turn 4 (continued)

Its amazing. My eyes are full of tears Im so
Gooddamn proud of my boys. A complete Allied
Rout and not a single of our guys dead. It looks like
the situation is stable. But Im affraid the initiative
has passed to the allied.

And our startegic objective have been accomplished.
Our internal lines are open. Now we just need to push
back the allies so they cant shell the road. And hamper
our movement.

That didn't turn out too well, did it?


EDIT:Imagine my chagrin when I saw that you posted news of your victory mere seconds before.

Im as surprised as you are [:D]


Though that Italian Battalion In Bedja Is likely to be cut of and annihilated. [:(]

I have only played against PO and a couple of games pbem. So this will be interesting.

After my turn 3, I remembered that I planned to use that armoured unit in reserve ... doooh. So I thought next turn I will pull it out into reserve. As usual, when I thought this it ends up attacked and routed. Splendid reserve unit. If I can get it out.

Well let us see what happens now.

-AXIS TURN 5-

Another turn and the allies are in complete control of the skies.
Luckely for our movements behind the front line, The enemy bomber crews
seem to be sipping tea, rather than harrasing our troop movements.

We recieved 3 geman artillery units by ship. They where placed in camoflage positions

I have personally called the commander in charge of the Luftwaffe in N. Africa
To ask him why his planes arent in the air, supporting our men. His adjudant
Told me he was in Tunis for the week, with his wife! Imagine that, sending wives
to N. Africa, when what we need is more men! Luftwaffe Abschaum!



On the ground the Allies have dealt a heavy blow to my Italian allies.
Bedja has been retaken and all radio contack with the Italian Battalion defending the village
has stopped! Lets hope they havent surrendered!
And they have retaken the road area held by the other Italian battalion, The unit came
under heavy attack But managed to disengage an retreat in good order through our lines.
The Battalion is currently being resupplied with ammunition and wine.



So the allied commander is a Dummes Huhn I order a limitedflank attack by a Mot. Inf
Battalion to the north of the Allied postion.



The attack is stopped, but it was only a diversion. Suddenly german tanks come crashing
through the allied defense routing the tommies.



Once more we are in control of the road.




My Scouts in the central tunisia reports the presence of a large convoy of american
amoured units approaching through the desert. They are ordered to blow all bridges
to slow them down.

-AXIS TURN 6-




Not much to report from the frontline.
The rain have started in N. Africa.
Making it harder to get ammunition and
gun grease to the men in the foxholes.


The americans didnt turn south towards Maktar
But tried to cross the river at Oued Silianah.
We set up some improvised defensive lines.
with our mobile 10. pz. corps. Hopefully they can
delay long enough for the inf. to arrive and dig
in.



END OF TURN 6

-AXIS TURN 7-

The Yanks launch an assault across the river.
They are repulsed. Situation could become
unfavorable.

Rest of the front: Quiet...
