Re: DAR: Alam Halfa Ridge
Turn 18
Identification error! Tank previously identified as a Crusader III-CS, was actually a Crusader II-CS. Not a biggie, because at 2500m, it's harmless to my StuGs. Another Crusader III has been seen 200m to the rear of the North objective. The II-CS is near it also. The enemy infantry has stopped resisting and continues to run. Another Bofors has been found 100 meters behind the earlier two. Infantry suppressive fire continued on the 6pdr. A new and now extinct addition to the enemy defense was two truck mounted 6pdrs.
Enemy artillery started coming in again on empty sand. They are trying to hit my infantry, but as long as they keep moving they are safe. The enemy doesn't do a good job of leading targets with artillery.
Casualties
Friendly: Zero
Enemy: Two 6pdr Portees destroyed, estimated 5 casualties.
