T033: Third Reich 42-45 - Mike (Allies) vs Ken (Axis)

T033. 18 December 1942.

North Africa - Egypt

This was unexpected. One of the probing attacks--they were all limited attacks precisely because I wanted to avoid exposing units to counterattacks--pushed out the Axis units without a fight. That led to another attack, and another. The boys got their dander up. Within a few rounds, the enemy line was breaking apart from north to south. I decided to turn this into a full offensive by committing the UK 10th Armored Division, which had more attack ability than any of the enemy units had on defense in the area.

North Africa - Morocco

Mop up missions continue in the foothills south of Algiers. But elsewhere, the army is staging for the race eastward. Additional reinforcements will be arriving next turn, as army headquarters units, heavy artillery, and more are loading onto transport ships now in England. I'm also planning on sending the US 34th Infantry Division into Algeria, after that unit was crushed in Egypt several weeks ago. That division is now full strength again and ready to leave England for the front lines.
