Sorry about that, but note that these snipers are an integral part of the Italian Parachute Company and you actually won the scenario in one go. Anyway, I'd say we jump in time again, to Tunisia. As far as I can ascertain the Brigade was enlarged to division status in this time, so you can refresh and upgrade you forces. I think the re-equipment with American stuff happened later though (before the move to Italy).

Things are looking up. After the defeat at El Alamein, the axis forces are retreating to Tunisia. Even better: We won't have to fight against other Frenchmen anymore. The Americans landed in North Africa and caused the Vichy forces there to switch sides. In response the Germans occupied the rest of France, but let them: We will get it back soon enough!
It is now May 1943 and we are send back into line for possible the last time in North Africa. As we press the Germans and Italians back to their pathetic bridgehead, they mount delaying actions, using the rugged terrain to their advantage.
In our sector they concentrated their forces on three hills, fortifying them. They are set up in a way that the three positions can cover each other, making it hard to properly assault them. German forces are mostly infantry, supported by Antitank guns and the occasional Panzer. There is also a Flak 88 battery in the area that we should take out as soon as possible. We are supported by British heavy artillery.
- Deploy your forces
- Clear Objectives Toulouse, Amiens and Poitiers in whatever way you deem best
- Locate and destroy all 88mm guns. If you don't get them today, the Germans will move them to a different location overnight.
