Overview:

The Americans had successfully landed east of Oran and fanned out beyond Beach Z. However the beachhead was still under threat. French forces to the southeast hatched a daring plan to directly assault the beachhead including a naval operation, and chop off the probing American armor columns at their base. To this end a battalion of Vichy troops forded the river south of La Macta near the highway bridge. Then they force marched all night through a swamp, emerging at dawn to attack the American rear area near the Mediterranean Sea.
Attacker: Vichy French (Algerian Regulars, Vichy French Forces)
Defender: American (1st Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, Center Task Force and 19th Engineers)

2023-04-28(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winWell, this may be one of those scenarios where the roll for sides decides who wins and who loses. I got the Vichy and that would be the losing side. My initial attack went in and managed to get some early successes as Dan MALF'd his MMG's and the AAMG on the halftrack. I managed to KIA one of the reinforcing 7-4-7's, but then things just went south for me as I MALF'd two 3 x LMG's and my HMG twice before destroying it with a repair dr 6. By Turn 6, I was still fighting in the village with troops held in three melees and really no chance for any a desperation charge. So I gave the concession after 5 turns. Just wasn't interested in watching more of my guys get shot to pieces. Winning as the French appears to be very difficult.
