The battlefield viewed from the northwest. The Germans hold the town and the wadis (represented by light grey linear shapes). The British attacked from three directions: north (left), west (bottom right), and south (top left). Souk el Arba is the central town straddling the river.	The game started with a vigorous air battle above the town. Two squadrons (six models!) of Spitfire VB fighters take on a single squadron of Bf-109G's. Two German fighters were shot down, and in came a squadron of Hurricane IIC fighter-bombers.	A flight of Hurricanes strafes and bombs German mechanized units spotted sheltering in the river bed. British ground forces later discover a wrecked platoon of Panzer IV's. The numbered markers show the location of suspected (real or dummy) German units.	British recce carriers fan out from their entry point in the north.	The German panzer commander adjusts his numbered markers as other nefarious characters egg him on.
A couple of standing German officers confidently observe the antics of their opposite numbers.	As a British armoured commander--note appropriate black beret--places his numbered markers, the Fallschirmjager headman stands at Teutonic attention.	A couple of Humber Scout Cars (okay, these are actually Daimler Scout Cars, but we had to make some substitutions). Enemy antitank fire caught them as they approached the town.	Another recce asset goes up in smoke. The town is hot property, apparently.	In response, the British call 5.5-inch fire town on suspected enemy positions in Souk el Arba. The red markers indicate possible kills; the yellows show possible suppressions.
An entire reconnaissance squadron brews up as it crosses the airfield. German tank, antitank, and recoilless guns were shooting from all directions. The losses include a couple of Daimler II armored cars, a Humber II armored car, and one jeep with LMG.	The first company of Fallschirmjager is revealed after firing. This is a weapons company. Note the potentially-deadly 75mm recoilless gun.	One carrier platoon fires furiously at a newly-discovered Fallschirmjager company. "Krump" markers made from painted steel wool and craters formed from squashed bottle caps mark the artillery barrage.	A couple of Marder III tank destroyers armed with rechambered Soviet 76mm field guns. These picked off some enemy recce, then fell back to a hiding place behind a small hill. A company of Panzer IV F2 medium tanks occupies the riverbed at top right. These vehicles retreated from the map in short order.	Another recce carrier brews up as it approaches a possible enemy unit in a wadi. Tank fire from elsewhere did the killing; the marker was only a dummy.
An overview of the developing British attack from the west. Elements of two armored squadrons cautiously poke over a crestline as recce carriers approach the town.	The nearest tank is a Crusader III (with 6-pounder gun), then a Crusader II (2-pounder), Valentine III (2-pounder), and a couple of Valentine VIII (6-pounder). British armored squadrons in Tunisia had an interesting mix at this date.	British motorized infantry moves towards the west to rendezvous with the armor.	More German units are revealed as they fire at the approaching British. A 75mm PAK 40 antitank gun is suppressed by a combination of tank fire and artillery. Fallschirmager companies fall back into the middle of the town.	In the south, another tank squadron moves up cautiously behind a crestline.
British infantry move onto the airfield.	A German 50mm PAK 38 is spotted. Just another nasty surprise for the British armored cars and tanks.	Two more recce squadrons drive down from the north. Each squadron is a mix of Humber Scout Cars, recce carriers, and universal carriers.	Once the dreaded antitank gun is disposed of, British armor approaches Souk el Arba from the west.	More British infantry occupy the airfield buildings and prepare to assault the town.
Fallschirmjager infantry move eastward within Souk el Arba. Things are getting hotter; any unit that shows itself is targetted by 25-pounder artillery fire.	British tanks move to cut the river to the east of the town. Now Souk el Arba is surrounded by the British.	A German panzer grenadier company sends a hail of bullets and antitank-rifle rounds into carriers advancing nearby.	More British support units arrive from the south, including towed 6-pounder and 2-pounder antitank guns. The 6-pounder unit (top) is hit by heavy fire from Souk el Arba.	More British units press east, making the possibilities of evacuation very slim for the Fallschirmjagers in the town.
A big British push against the town from the north and west. Although the Fallschirmjager are thin on the ground, they fight fiercely in urban terrain.	British lorried infantry and recce command elements advance eastward, to the north of the river.	A burning recce carrier marks the high-water mark for the British in the south. German infantry move up to occupy a farm.	The riverline is still defended by a Sdkfz 10/4 flak halftrack with a 20mm cannon. This weapon did a fine job defeating the advancing British light armor. A 105mm howtizer battery (bottom) blasted anything that arrived along the road.	Some extremely brave (or, perhaps, merely foolish) lorried infantry drive east.
Souk el Arba is threatened from the south by the British tanks.	British tanks, infantry, and engineers were forced back after the big push. They regrouped for a second try as the game came to an end. The Germans hoped to hold out in the town till darkness fell, then infiltrate through the enemy lines back to the east. Most of these Fallschirmjager were eventually captured or killed.
