DAR: Alam Halfa Ridge

[RERomine]

Turn 20

My infantry is now starting to fan out and head for all of the objectives. They are 200m from the middle objective, 400m from the South objective and 750m from the North objective. The enemy is making a last gasp effort to stop them. The surviving tanks are starting to move forward. Two unseen truck mounted 6pdrs just popped up also. Of the six enemy tanks remaining, two Crusader IIIs and one Crusader II-CS were destroyed. Another Crusader III and II-CS were damaged. A second 6pdr ATG was found and suppressed by infantry. The crew was last seen running for London.

The enemy mortar is continuing to fire, but all friendlies are out of the impact zone. Counter battery is plotted for next turn.

Casualties

Friendly: Two casualties.

Enemy: Two Crusader III and one Crusader II-CS tanks destroyed, one 6pdr ATG abandoned, estimated 10 casualties.
