Re: DAR: Mersa Brega, North Africa
Turn 13
Lead bunker on hill 30-1 destroyed by engineers. Two Lees destroyed at long range by Tigers. Remaining engineers advanced. The Southern company advanced without issue, but the Northern company is taking fire from the Shermans on the North slope of the hill.
On hill 30-2, one scout is circling back to ensure there are no mines around before the one Tiger platoon takes position on it. Two other scouts are skirting around the North and South slope and into the rear.
Immobilized tank from spoiling attack finished off by ATGs.
Artillery dropped smoke Southwest of LZ and bombarded three Lees in LZ. One more chance to hit them before the air drop arrives.
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.
Enemy: Three Lee I tanks destroyed, one bunker destroyed.
