tank warfare: tunisia 1943
The German commander, believing he had encountered a much stronger force, retreated.
Advanced guards of the 36th Infantry Brigade reached Tebarka on 15 November and Djebel Abiod on 18 November, where they met Axis forces.
[90], The Luftwaffe lost 2,422+ aircraft in the Mediterranean theatre from November 1942 – May 1943 (41 percent of the Luftwaffe).
Rommel's original proposal was for a limited but concentrated attack through Kasserine to confront II Corps' strength at Tébessa and gain vital supplies from the US dumps there.
[93] From 13 to 26 December, the RAF flew 1,940 sorties for a loss of at least 20 aeroplanes while the USAAF conducted 720 sorties for a loss of 16 aircraft.

[76] By this stage, Allied aircraft had been moved forward to airfields in Tunisia to prevent the aerial supply of Axis troops in North Africa (Operation Flax) and large numbers of German transport aircraft were shot down between Sicily and Tunis. Concern over the vulnerability to flanking attacks prompted a further withdrawal west.
II US Corps withdrew to the line of Dernaia-Kasserine-Gap-Sbiba with XIX Corps on their left flank vacating the Eastern Dorsal to conform with them. Moreover, the battlefield is affected by changing weather conditions and the day and night cycle, forcing the player to adapt their approach accordingly. The northward advance of Eighth Army had "pinched out" US II Corps' eastward facing front line, allowing the corps to be withdrawn and switched to the northern end of the Allied front. Two Allied brigade groups advanced toward Djebel Abiod and Béja respectively. On 26 March, X Corps (Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks) drove around the Matmata Hills, capturing the Tebaga Gap and the town of El Hamma at the northern extreme of the line in "Operation Supercharge II", making the Mareth Line untenable.
Over 250,000 German and Italian troops were taken as prisoners of war, including most of the Afrika Korps. [36] The Allies had tried to prevent the Axis build up with substantial air and sea forces but Tunis and Bizerte were only 190 km (120 mi) from the ports and airfields of western Sicily, 290 km (180 mi) from Palermo and 480 km (300 mi) from Naples, making it very difficult to intercept Axis transports which had the benefit of substantial air cover. They were forestalled by an Axis counter-attack, led by Major-General Wolfgang Fischer, whose 10th Panzer Division had just arrived in Tunisia.
This had the intended side effect of improving the fire control of the already-strong US artillery.

[5] An Allied occupation of the whole of the North African coast would open the Mediterranean to Allied shipping, releasing the huge capacity required to maintain supplies around the circuitous route via the Cape of Good Hope. Coningham unified the British and American operational commands and trained them in new operational practices. This came into effect on 20 February and at the same time, in order better to co-ordinate the activities of his two armies in Tunisia, Eisenhower at AFHQ brought First and Eighth Armies under a new headquarters, 18th Army Group, which Alexander was to command. By the end of 10 December, Allied units held a defensive line just east of Medjez el Bab. 1) The position in the list of operations is stores between the game starts.
The US II Corps was unable to exploit the German failure and each attack was stopped by the 10th Panzer Division or 21st Panzer Division counter-attacks up the road from Gabès; co-ordination of Allied air and ground forces remained unsatisfactory.
Over 400 sq. This would ensure the success of the initial landings in spite of uncertainty as to how the incumbent French forces would react. Here, they started a build up for another attack and were ready by late December 1942. [38] The Americans also began bases in Algeria and Tunisia, to form a large forward base at Maknassy, on the eastern edge of the Atlas Mountains, well placed to cut off the Panzerarmee in the south from Tunis and the Fifth Panzer Army in the north.
This meant that at Algiers the disembarkation of mobile forces for an advance to Tunisia would necessarily be delayed.
[28] The 36th Brigade's delayed attack began on 26 November but they were ambushed with the leading battalion taking 149 casualties.
The Axis attack was repulsed with massed artillery fire; 55 Axis tanks were knocked out.

Defensive lines in the north could deal with approaching forces, while the Mareth Line made the south secure. [4] Instead it was agreed that landings would be made to secure the Vichy territories in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) and then to thrust east to take the Axis forces in the Western Desert in their rear. * Luang Prabang and Champasak (Laos), https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tunisian_campaign&oldid=982314995, Campaigns, operations and battles of World War II involving the United Kingdom, Articles containing Italian-language text, Pages containing London Gazette template with parameter supp set to y, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 7 October 2020, at 11:57. To the frustration of the Free French, the US government had displayed considerable willingness to make a deal with Darlan and the Vichyists. 1) Corrected the display of the number of shells for duplicate weapon types (mostly smoke grenade launchers) for vehicles.
[95] From 18 January to 13 February, the Luftwaffe lost another 100 aircraft but Italian losses are unknown. A further attack early on 23 February was again beaten back. The game contains over fifty different battle vehicles used by Axis and Allied forces. Fredendall did not respond to the French request to send reinforcements in the form of tanks from 1st Armored Division and after desperate resistance, the under-equipped French defenders were overrun. The campaign features more than 50 detailed vehicles produced in Germany, USA and UK. [76] Anderson's plan was for the main attack to be in the centre of the V Corps front at Medjez, confronting main Axis defences. Following them came the von Broich battlegroup from 10th Panzer, which forked right onto the road to Thala where they were slowed by a regimental armoured group from 26th Armoured Brigade (Gore Force). By 18 April, after attacks by Eighth Army from the south and flanking attacks by IX Corps and French XIX Corps, the Axis forces had been pushed into a defensive line on the north-east coast of Tunis, attempting to protect their supply lines but with little hope of continuing the battle for long.

Spanned crossings for heavy automobiles are collapsing rapidly by movement of water, which made crossing tough for tanks and artillery.
Over 250,000 German and Italian troops were taken as prison…
The slow build up had brought Allied force levels up to a total of 54,000 British, 73,800 American and 7,000 French troops. Once Algiers was secured, a small force, the Eastern Task Force, would be projected as quickly as possible into Tunisia in a race to occupy Tunis, some 800 km (500 mi) distant along poor roads in difficult terrain during the winter rainy season, before the Axis could organise.
[71] On 7 April, Anderson tasked the 78th Infantry Division with clearing the Béja-Medjez road.

Critic Review However, on 27 November the Germans attacked in strength.
[46], After further discussion, the Comando Supremo issued orders on 19 February for Rommel to attack through the Kasserine and Sbiba passes toward Thala and Le Kef to threaten First Army's flank.
Moreover, Hitler committed the Luftwaffe to fight a battle of attrition under unfavourable conditions and it suffered losses that it could not afford.
During the first half of January, Anderson had with mixed results kept constant pressure through limited attacks and reconnaissance in strength. Plot Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 takes us to Tunisia, enabling us to take part in the second phase of Operation Torch – an Allied attempt to recapture the coast of North-Western Africa.
[45] By the afternoon of 17 February, Rommel's troops had occupied Feriana and Thelepte (roughly 24 km (15 mi) southwest of Kasserine) forcing the evacuation on the morning of 18 February of Thelepte airfield, the main air base in British First Army's southern sector.
Large quantities of supplies became available to the British from the United States and the supply situation of the Eighth Army eventually resolved. The Luftwaffe, happy to have local air superiority while Allied planes had to fly from relatively distant bases in Algeria, harassed them all the way. [10] From mid-November 1942 to January 1943, 243,000 men and 856,000 long tons (870,000 t) of supplies and equipment arrived in Tunisia by sea and air.
