  3. No APCRI APDS may be used in this scenario. 
  OBJECTIVES: The Germans win if there are no Good Order American

  BIR ELAALIA, TUNISIA, 21 January 1943: On the 18th of January the Germans 
  launched Operation Eilbote in an effort to shore up their southem defenses by recap-
  turing the eastem Dorsals mountain range and the Kebir reservo ir that supplied water 
  to Tunis. Colonel Weber ofthe 1Oth Panzer Division was given elements ofthe ?56th 
  Mountain, 20th Flak, and 501st Schwere Panzer Abteilung. Group Weber drove for 
  three furious days through the French sector, covering over 37 mnes until it contacted 
  Combat Command B of the US First Armo red Division. Commanded by Brigadier 
  General Robbinett and sent north to contain the German offensive, CCB hit the 
  Germans just north ofBir el Aalia. Running short on fuel, but not on numbers, the 
  First Armored attempted to stave offthe German offensive. The Allies were able to 
  contain the German attack in both the north and south ofthe Dorsal mountains. They 
  did so only after the Germans had recaptured the Kebir reservo ir, ensuring the contin-
  ued supply ofwater to Tunis. This offensive saw sorne ofthe heaviest air operations 
  during the African campaign, with both sides flying over 400 sorties each day. A specific effect ofthis operation occurred when the French were brought under 
  the command ofGeneral Anderson, thereby revealing severa) command and control faults to the Allies. Recognition ofthese shortcomings helped the Allies 
  to better coordinate the employment oftheir forces later in the campaign.

  JEBEL EL GUESSA, TUNISIA, 6 December 1942: The Germans kept the pressure on the Allied High 
  Command in Tunisia, keeping the initiative well in hand during early December 1942. Kesselring and 
  Nehring allowed their bloodied adversaries no rest. Early on the moming of 1 December a strong 
  counterattack carne out of Djedeida. In two columns spearheaded by forty tanks and supported by 
  deadly dive bombers, the German-Italian attackers hit Blade Force, sending its units into a hasty 
  withdrawal south. The road quickly became congested with vehicles of all types, which only made a 
  more inviting target for enemy artillery arid dive bombers. In the first four days of December the 
  Germans and their Jtal ian all ies built up momentum and pushed the Allies back from Djedeida, securing 
  itas an Axis strong-point, then farther west to take Tebourba. After a briefpause the Germans resumed 
  their offensive, taking Djebel el Guessa, a key hill mass four miles south ofTebourba, and in the process 
  mauling elements ofthe U. S. 6th Armored Infantry Regiment. Still the German tanks and dive bombers 
  carne and for the next four days pushed the Allies farther west. Finally on the 1Oth, Allied units held a 
  defensive line just east ofMedjez el Bab. The string of defeats in December cost them dearly: over 1,000 
  missing (prisoners ofwar), and 73 tanks, 432 other vehicles, and 70 artillery pieces lost.

  OUSSELTIA, TUNISIA, 22 January 1943: German mechanized units began a spoiling 
  attack in January as part ofüperation Eilbote /. The French Oran Division had moved into the 
  Ousseltia Valley, presenting the Germans with an opportunity to trap them. Major Lueder of 
  1Oth Panzer Division moved down the valley from the north with four Tigers, six other 
  Panzers, sorne infantry and light AA units. The French colonial troops, with the exception of 
  the Foreign Legion, went from an unenthusiastic advance to disordered retreat. To restore the 
  situation, Combat Command B of 1st U. S. Armored Division was put under command ofthe 
  French. In the meantime, Kampfgruppe Lueder had been reinforced with engineers and an-
  other four Tigers. On 21st January, CCB probed towards the positions previously held by 
  the French near Ousseltia village, finding the Germans dug-in at the Kairouan Pass to the east. 
  There was a major effort the next day with artillery preparation and air support, but gradually 
  the situation bogged down. The commander of 2/6th Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel Ringsock, 
  was confident his troops could take their objectives, but the American force first had to watch 
  the last French units being driven offthe spur above the pass. At 1430 hours, 2/13th Armored 
  swept boldly up the valley only to meet 'stiff resistance', suffering at long range from 
  German anti-tank gunnery. Both sides took losses: the Yank newcomers were not always 
  easy prey. The Germans withdrew on January 23rd. The actions of Combat Comrnand B prevented the destruction of the isolated French troops.

  SBEITLA, TUNISIA, 16 February 1943: The Germans in Tunisia, while caged, were not 
  el ose to being tamed. Despite surrendering the strategic initiative, they carried out a number of 
  counter-attacks and local attacks. One such operation was Operation Fruehlingswind (Spring 
  Wind), which had as one of its objectives the town of Sbeitla. The moming of 16 February 
  witnessed American armored units counter-attacking to try and push back two aggressive 
  German colurnns. A pitched battle ensued, with strong armored forces, artillery and aircraft 
  engaged by both combatants. A stiff toll was exacted from the German defenders. However, the 
  veteran Panzer leaders finally forced the battered American attackers to withdraw. All the 
  Americans left on the battlefield were the charred wrecks oftanks and the bodies ofthe fallen, 
  strewn among the cacti.

  EL GUETTAR, TUNISIA, 30 March 1943: The 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion 
  supported the 1st Armored's 'Benson Force' in the attempt to advance from 
  friendly lines east of El Guettar toward Gabes. The M 1 Os of 'C' Company had 
  moved forward sorne 5,000 yards during.the aftemoon when the task force began 
  to draw fire from enemy 88s, 75mrn anti-tank guns, andas they closed the range, 
  50mm and ltalian 4 7mm guns. One section of destroyers on the left flank drew fire 
  frorn guns on the srnall hi lis on the left. While maneuvering and firing, one M 1 O 
  turnbled on its side into a wadi. The crew scrambled out only to be met by an 
  ltalian officer and his rnen. 'C' Company lost another M lO when itwas hit and set 
  afire. On the other flank resistance was lighter and two ltalian tanks were knocked 
  out by MiOs. 'C' Cornpany also accounted for four "88's", three 75mm and six 
  47mm enemy anti-tank guns. Nevertheless, Benson Force was stymied until April 
  7th when Axis rearguards retreated up the coast with Montgomery hot on their 
  tails.

  Dummies. 
  DJEBEL EL MEHACHEM, TUNISIA, 2 May 1943: The Jefna position was one ofthe strongest 
  German defenses in all ofnorthem Tunisia. lt commanded the Mateur road and included two heavily 
  fortified hills lying a mile anda half west of Jefna Station. The 47th Regimenta} Combat Team, 
  replacing the British 138th Brigade in thdine on 13 April, took up positions to exert pressure toward 
  Jefua. German positions on 'Bald' and 'Green' Hills were subjected to air and artillerybombardment 
  from 29 April to 2 May. Despite the bombardment, the enemy held out tenaciously in his well-
  prepared positions on the forward slopes of Green and Bald Hills. German prisoners captured on 2 
  May revealed that they had been ordered to withdraw toward Bizerte. American patrols confirmed 
  this enerny retrograde movernent. On 3 May the 47th R.C.T. occupied Bald and Green Hills, and 
  reconnaissance of the Jefna-Mateur road confirmed it was free of enerny troops.

  DJEBELACHKEL, TUNISIA, 11 May 1943: The threat ofa US armored attackdown the 
  Tine Valley was undoubtedly a factor in forcing the German retreat on 2 May during the last 
  phase in the fighting on the Tunis plain. Now, from the Mateur area the 1st Armored Division 
  aimed a strike at the center of the new German line, where two key roads met, one from 
  Mateur through Ferryville that intersect~d the Tunis-Bizerte highway and the other from 
  Mateur to Djedeida. The German defense of these roads was based on two hill masses. The 
  main enemy position was based on a 5-mile belt ofhills between the Ferryville and Mateur-
  Djedeida roads. The second position was based on the imposing Djebel Achkel. The 91 st 
  Reconnaissance Squadron was assigned to take this isolated height, but ran into strong oppo-
  sition when it moved out on 4 May. Nevertheless, by the aftemoon of 5 May American 
  troops had advanced about one-third of the way up the mountain and by nightfall had 
  captured the westem half, along with 80 prisoners. Fighting on the hill continued until 11 
  May, when more than 300 officers and men ofthe Hermann Goering Division finally surren-
  dered-but not until they had verified the report that their general had surrendered on the 9th.
