One at a Time - Single Man Units

[WBWilder]

Turn 7 and the action intensifies! Enemy troops are indeed preparing a counterattack. My northern wing has sighted the last cave and are moving toward it.

Now my job as Captain Hod is to keep their rear protected. I need to have their back.

See attachment as enemy soldiers come into my line of sight.

Now all hell breaks loose. The Egyptians are charging right for my force near the first two caves. We are firing carefully but in volume. The Egyptians return the fire and keep coming.

See attachment for firefight.

A couple of heroes emerge in this little firefight. One is Private Gahal who takes down three of the enemy. The other is Sgt.Gedaliah, who has up to now killed six of the enemy.

He will be honored for his courage under fire.

The fierce struggle continues for two more turns. At the same time, my northern group encounters resistance near the last cave.

It appears another enemy force is heading for my flank units headed for the cave. Some more fighting is on the horizon.

I continue my sweep through enemy positions at the top but it appears the fight is over there.

By now I have a bazooka team at the mouth of the cave, ready to fire.

By the end of turn 9, I have suffered casualties. Corporal Galili and Private Shalev have died heroically at close quarters with the enemy.

The bazooka team takes unexpected fire and loses one man. It retreats back into the desert. I'lll have a talk with that young man later!

[WBWilder]

By now all enemy objectives are taken and all caves eliminated. I have a turn to spare. It looks like the fight is done.

Time to regroup and see what we have done.

[WBWilder]

Its over. We have accomplished out mission. As daylight streams over us from the east, the first mechanized units are moving toward the pass to relieve the paratroopers. The way has been cleared and we have achieved a decisive victory!
