Colonel Baggio was really pleased with the radios they had here this gave him a perfect overview of the situation. His mortars and the gun were shelling the oasis. The spotter plane found some machinegun positions and mortars that were badly camoflagued and promptly a bren carrier and a mg team were destroyed.

The french were surprised while taking there breakfast and cursed their bad reconaissance while they jumped for cover in the trees.

Il Cassadore de Africa were climbing a ridge a few hundred meters away from theoasis getting ready for the galant and honorful stormattaque. one of the soldiers in the camici nere fitted a breastplate he still had from his grandfather and the askaris(one platoon had stayed with the unit expecting huge loot in hte northern african cities) were getting their talismans ready it surely would be a beautiful charge.

meanwhile tenienete ferrari was sniping at a bren carrier sitting in the dessert. while it got shelled by artillery it was a race who could destroy it first.

The french crew had trouble getting it to run and was already jumping out abandoning it in the dessert.
