The recently landed 10th Panzer Division had been split into four strike groups by its commander, General Wolfgang Fischer. One group had successfully taken Chouigui (AAaD Scenario # 5), while another moved east from Djédeïda toward Tébourba, which was currently held by an Anglo-American force from the 2nd Royal Hampshire Battalion and Combat Command B of the US 1st Armored Division. Elements of the 10th Panzer Division and the Panzer Division Herman Göring encountered the Allies at noon on December 1. The Allied forces were dug in on hills both north and south of the primary east/west road on Map #77. German infantry and armor units moved west on both hills, while artillery platoons were held in reserve until the hills could be cleared. An SK.10/4 platoon that was supporting paratrooper units on the NE hill was destroyed by a remarkably accurate shot from a British 6-pounder on west end of the SE hill. The British foot units on the north hill retreated west, but those on the south hill doggedly held on, slowing the German advance. At 1245, elements from the Blade Force began arriving from the north and moved to cut off the German artillery convoy that had just emerged from the east. A Tiger platoon moved back from the south hill to protect the convoy, while the artillery platoons quickly unlimbered their guns. By 1315, 3 Stuart platoons had been eliminated and the remainder of the Blade Force reinforcements fell back to cover on the north side of the NE hill. Then German mortars took out the 6-pounder platoon, and a Pz.IIIN platoon that had survived multiple volleys from a dug-in M3 Lee destroyed another Stuart unit. While the German Tiger and Pz.IIIN platoons continued to decimate Stuart and Lee platoons on the north side of the road, a convoy of German artillery moved forward to command the NE hill. An 88 on the SE hill destroyed a Crusader platoon that was providing support to the British infantry and weapon units there, but they still held fast on the hill until they were called back toward the SW hills at 1545 to help stem the German tide moving westward along the road. Stuart and Lee platoons attempted to catch the Tiger in a crossfire, but they were destroyed by a combination of fire from the German anti-tank guns and the Tiger before any significant damage occurred. At 1615, German units broke through to the west and the battle was lost, with the Germans achieving a minor victory.

The objectives of this scenario are three fold: no Allied units on the hills of Board # 78, 10 German steps exited west, and not to lose more than 10 German steps. The Germans need to reach two of the three objectives for a minor victory, and all three for a major victory. The game was extremely close to a major German victory, but the British units that held out for so long on the southeast hill were able to drop back, protected by a ridge and hold a hill hex in the extreme SW corner. Otherwise, the Germans controlled the board. The survival of the Bren was key for the British maneuverability, as it could quickly move a leader and infantry platoon out of range of the German firepower. Since the Tiger unit is pretty impregnable in this scenario, the best thing to do is stay out of the way, although one could gamble with a swarm assault if sufficient forces could be mobilized and could get close enough without serious casualties to do so. A platoon or two of fallschirmjager makes the latter a very questionable strategy, and one not tried in this case. The scenario was tenser than one might expect, as the Germans exited the last 5 points needed on Turn 20, and ended up with nine steps lost (compared to the 51 steps lost by the Allies), so the minor victory was hard fought.
