Debacle at Kasserine Pass

[evaught93]

By 18:00 on the second day, fighting has been heavy in the Pass. Around noon the first British infantry appeared to back up the American defense, now armor has shown up as well. Luckily the tanks are disrupted when they arrive, so I hit them with repeated artillery fire too keep them that way. 88's have also moved into position and begin to shell the armor as well. After a quick assault by German engineers I see an opportunity to try and pocket the newly arrived Brits. South of the river Italians moved West and North to limit Allied movement. We will see if continued assaults can allow me to surround the desperate defenders. My opponent decided to plant mines along the northwest route. I move Italian engineers to clear them, followed by German motorcycle troops and mech. infantry of the newly arrived 10th Panzer Div. Armor from 15th Panzer has been released and is now moving up the pass.
