Battle of Mareth Line 19 March 1943

So I set up this battle around Sunday, but have been so busy with training and additional training that I was only able to begin the attacks yesterday.  Ian is now doing his turn with his Afrika Korps.

My initial turn hit his forward defences. The Anglo-Indian units were able to take two bunkers.
More to come

Ian's counter attack put paid to the regiments holding the forward trenches

My next attack goes in

Ian's mortars begin to zero in on my attack

The Australians 9th Division await to pounce

The battlefield is wreathed in smoke from wrecked tanks

At last note, Ian had taken out all my tanks and artillery. It's now a plain infantry fight with grenades. The glue is on the table to rebase figures which snapped off.
