Tug Argan:
viz:
11-15 August, 1940
Tug Argan, British Somaliland: On 6 August, Italian General
Nasi's main force, the "Center Column", occupied Hargesia. British
delaying actions had disconcerted the Italian general enough
to make him spend two days regrouping before continuing the advance
along the main road toward Berbera. During those two days, the
grossly outnumbered Commonwealth force, continued to fortify
their blocking position astride the road at Tug Argan Pass.
On the 8th, the Italians resumed their march, northeast, and
began arriving before Tug Argan on the 10th, gradually untangled
themselves from the single road and deployed. Four days of fierce
fighting, beginning on the 11th, were to ensue and many Italian
casualties were to be incurred, before the Allied troops were
finally forced to withdraw to Berbera. [This scenario abreviates
all four days of the fighting.]
indeed, this scen was dusted off, from, about, 4 years ago.
enjoy, Cheers
