Overview:
By nightfall on 19 June, the Allied position at Mezzeh was desperate. Ammunition was running low, no food had been eaten for 24 hours, casualties were severe, and medical supplies were exhausted. During the night (when Vichy attacks were suspended), three men managed to reach Gentforce headquarters with the news of the position in Mezzeh. Early on 20 June, Brigadier Lloyd, having handed over to Evetts, resumed command of the 5th Indian Brigade and sent a force comprising two companies from the 3/1st Punjab Regiment, two companies of French Marines and a battery of artillery to fight its way through to Mezzeh.Attacker: Vichy French (7ème Régiment Chassuers d'Afrique)
Defender: Indian (3/1 Punjab and 4/6 Rajputana Rifle Regiments, 5th Indian Infantry Brigade)

| 2020-08-04 | (D) Eric Topp | vs | Ron Oxford | Indian win | Even with the balance (an additional HS and MMG), the Vichy had a tough time attacking the Indians in the VC building. After breaking an ART and then bogging an R35 crossing the stream, it was left to the infantry to launch a final futile assault. | ||
| 2013-06-06 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Dave H | Indian win | Opponent had a nice hedgehog set up - and absolutely slaughtered me 10 or so shots never higher than a 5 most were 3 and 4. Only had two brokies the entire game rest of my force went KIA on the first shot at them... PBEM |
