Lost count of the number of face-to-face sessions, or the amount of beer, that it took to finish this humungous, but well-designed, fight in Northern Tunisia. It was a fight to the finish with the playful and very bold Tubac52 as the American Commander in this 25-turn duel. We did this the old-fashioned way with pieces on the map on a table at his home and somehow managed not to upset the board since we started last October. No pets and no kids sure helped!

I give this one a 4, and would have given it a 5, since it favors the Axis player. Sagunto, Chaco, the Tredasaurus and Miguelibal joined us periodically for beer and salsa - and to give us tactical advice. They were very helpful, especially to my embattled opponent.

We decided not to use the ridiculous fog of war rule, until the end of the 8th turn, so that the attacking Germans could get established on the battlemap. This also meant that they took lots of casualties early, and even more toward the end, since they came right up the darn east-west road with flanking armor and scouts in the hills on either side.The sacrifice in Lanser infantry and engineers was worth it by the end of the scenario when the Americans ran out of armor and SP artillery support.

This is a good one to learn how to maneuver large formations, and to fight and move at night. It might be better as a SOLO fight, but its too much fun for us not to recommend it for shared play.
