Introduction |
---|
The British landings north of Casablanca faced an immediate and sharp reaction from the Italian 132nd “Ariete” Armored Division, which struck at the first columns moving out of the beachhead. Many of the troops on the ground had been present two years previously when the two divisions fought one another for control of the crucial passes of the central Sinai Peninsula. |
Conclusion |
---|
The first clash saw the Italians halt the British advance and inflict heavy casualties on their forward brigade. These men had met before, but in their last battles Ariete’s tanks had been little better than tin cans. With weapons fit for Italy’s best division, the carristi now made for a formidable opponent. |
Additional Notes |
---|
Most Italian units appearing in Africa Orientale Italiana also appear in Afrika Korps. The Italian Semovente 90 is also in the Desert Rats counter mix. Any game may be used to supply the additional British M3 halftracks, not only An Army at Dawn or Elsenborn Ridge. |

The "Optional Values" for the Achilles---and by extension the Archer---given in an Avalanche Press Daily Content piece on the 17-Pdr Anti-Tank gun (and printed on a replacement counter sheet Download) are now the Official Ratings, published in games like Cassino '44, Grossdeutschland 1946, and Indian Unity. These are: 8-5 / 8-8 Full Strength and 4-5 / 8-8 Reduced Strength. (caryn
