The battlefield

Allied bomber strike on the center town.

After the dust cleared and the bombers had moved on…

Masses of US armored units enter the field.

More US units, including AAA.

Lee tanks race ahead and engage Italian AT positions.

A German AT gun postion fires into the flank of the US armor.

Deadly Italian ground attack aircraft blast Allied units.

US tank losses mount from the air and flank attacks.

US armored infantry blast into the town as Falschirmjagers fire from the hill.

Allied infantry begin to move up.

Another view of the carnage. Tank carcasses litter the field. French infantry arrive to the rescue!

Wreckage of a US AAA unit that moved too far forward. Again, note advancing French.

In the Axis rear, a lone US recon unit engages German infantry.

The remains of a German AA unit that attracted too much US artillery.

A lone Italian AT/AA position cleared out.

More Italian AA defends Axis territory.

Allied units push ahead.

Italian engineers in a wadi fire at the French as US armored infantry land a blow.

Disrupted Axis artillery falls back.

The flesh men smile as the plastic and lead soldiers groan.
