A few days ago the 51st Highland Division managed to establish a bridgehead across the Dittaino river. The next objective is the airfield near Gerbini. A night attack by the 7th Argyll and Sutherland highlanders, supported by Sherman tanks and 2 companies of the 1st Blackwatch Highlanders, will seize the crossroads and trainstation close to the airfield.

The start line is a German antitank ditch. Artillery and tank support is available.

*
The enemy main line of resistance runs in front of the farm complex near Gerbini crossroads. We are facing the Hermann Goering Panzer Division, so expect mechanised infantry, supported by tanks. They are dug in and have laid mines. Use the cover of darkness to close the distance with the enemy positions.
