While 8th Army was driving the 5th Panzerarmee out of it's positions on the Mareth line, the 1ste Army was licking it's wounds and regrouping. It was going to attempt to reach the Tunisian plains once more. but before that it had to deal with a german spoiling attack. This attack was lead by kampfgruppe Lang and had orders to take Sidi Nsir and open the way to Beja. The kampfgruppe had some strong units but owning to the fact thta all it's units came from other formations meant that cooperation was not optimal. Also, 128th Infantry Brigade which was defending the area, had well prepared positions and could count on the support of the North Irish Horse with it's Churchill tanks.

Interesting scenario. There is a huge difference in not only how this can be played, but how the different sides will have to react vis-a-vis one another. I kept all my soft units hidden during the push into the southern half of the board, meaning the allies could only try to shoot my tanks - they had no soft targets. If was still a tough win for me, but I broke through in the SE and exploited the breach.
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.

Very steep points requirement for the Axis.

Not sure what the Germans need to do to win this. Lots of points to a minor victory and a large map. Brit artillery is not numerous but deadly.
