Overview:

The Germans were defending Hill 107, a key piece of terrain that denied the Allies a direct route into Tunis. After numerous attacks, the Germans still held the northern ridgeline and the Cactus Farm area on 29 April. The 12th Brigade of the British 4th Armored Division was given the order to clear the area, and its commander assigned the 2nd Royal Fusiliers to the task. The Fusiliers were fresh from their first taste of combat on 24 April, when they had been handily defeated. At 0600 on the morning of 29 April, the Fusiliers attacked, supported by Churchills from the 12th Royal Tank Regiment.
Attacker: British (2nd Royal Fusiliers, 4th Infantry Division and 12th Royal Tank Regiment)
Defender: German (4th Kompanie, 5th Jäger Regiment, Hermann Göring Division)

2024-09-20(A) Tuomo Lukkari vs Sergio Puente British win[Imported from ROAR]
2024-03-31(A) Pascal Boileau vs Prod'homme Pierre German winA good scenario despite that I conceded 2 turns before the end. Most of my AFVs were wrecked and most of my infantry was broken after 4 turns. To be the attacker in this scenario required some tactical skills that I was totally deprived before our game. Lesson learned, thanks Pierre !
2023-04-08(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winSometimes losing is a blast! I spent too much time and effort taking the hill so my attack on the farm developed late. Jim's 8 ML squads in stone buildings proved tough to break. The FB managed only a pin. The OBA stopped my attack on M9 leaving O7 and O10 out of reach. Good scenario well played. Jim: The Pak41s shocked/killed one Churchill and immobilized two, but the attack kept grinding forward with bow-mounted 75s pounding my positions until the OBA saved the day. This one is tense for both sides.
2022-02-17(A) Shane Pask vs German winTotally botched my tactics. Did well on the hill but called it after turn 4 when my infantry still had to cross 2 cactus hedges and were all bunched up right where the artillery was about to land. Lost 2 tanks to shock and 1 to CH. Way too cautious (and slow) with my infantry. Can infantry ride tanks over cactus hedges?
2020-04-06(D) Gordon Jupp vs Andy Bagley German winVery interesting game. Andy decided on an all Northerly attack - he took out one of the AT guns very quickly but then got a bit bogged down. By T6 the Brits only had one building location and the Germans still had 14VP worth on the hill so called it there. Very intersting scenario tho.
