Overview:

A German-held airfield just east of Djedeida – a mere dozen miles from Tunis – had suffered the ignominious distinction of being overrun by a reconnoitering company of American light tanks. The Americans, however, lacking orders and infantry to hold the airfield, had left it to the Germans upon their withdrawal. Three days later, the mixed British and American battlegroup known as “Hart Force” was tasked with capturing the holding Djedeida and its accompanying airfield. Likewise, the German paratroopers of Kampfgruppe Witzig had orders to avoid the embarrassment of the earlier engagement. With British infantry riding American M3 Lee tanks, the attack began in the early afternoon following a morning of reconnaissance on the objective.

2024-07-13(D) Andy Goldin vs Jeff Coyle German winHUMAN WAVE 2024. The German player must be selective about setup since he has a lot of ground to cover and cannot defend everything. I focused primarily on the north and center of the map, leaving only my ATG, MMG and a light Mtr to cover the intersection at the south of the map.

Jeff entered primarily on the south and center, with his main effort in the center. Throughout the game I prioritized knocking out his armor to reduce his victory options and try to preserve some freedom of movement for myself. In the south, I lost my lt mtr and 40LL to his infantry assault but managed to knock out a tank and hold him up until my armor reinforcements arrive. In the center I traded ground for time and scored a lucky Deliberate Immobilization hit with an ATR firing at point blank range. My armor entered as he was moving his armor from south to north, setting me up for side shots from the hill at M13/M12, where 2 of my 3 tanks found good hull-down positions. I had some pretty hot dice with my APCR shots on German Turn 4, knocking out two of his three remaining tanks.

Although Jeff's infantry was had not taken many losses, he felt that he no longer had the firepower or the time to take the buildings he needed in the two turns remaining and conceded.
