Teniente Ferrari wasted about 15 rounds of 37mm ammo on that bren carrier filling it with holes making all but the brave driver run away. hef inally got it running and drove away fast. Ferrari then saw the french infantry running away from their assembly point in the oasis they realy had been surprised and now tried to get out of the bombardment. unfortunatly for them they ran straight into the italian machine guns waiting for them on the ridge.

It was a pretty one sided afair.

meanwhile ten. moretti saw the feench exiting the oasis nd couldnt resist. He adjusted the feather on his cap and started running downhill screaming obscenities at the french the rest of his platoon followed his charge dreaming of the glory they would bring for the italian empire in africa taking this oasis.

Major de Lucca saw this lack of discipline froma few hundred meters behind the ridge he and the platoon of regular infantry that carried most of the heavy weapons still had to get up the ridge since they had been at the back of the colloumn. He just hopped these stupid black shirts would get themselves killed since they were actual quite good soldiers if they werent drunk or starting heroic charges into enemy machine guns.

Maybe this attack would make the french rout completely or it might cost him half his company...
