Overview:
After a month the British and Commonwealth campaign against Vichy forces in Syria was coming to a close. Despite them being recend allies, the Vichy resistance was often fierce. The coastal town of Damour was the last major Vichy outpost before the key city of Beirut. Colonel Picot, the Vichy commander in the Damour region, allocated a battalion of tough Algerians in the defense of the southern approaches to the village which were covered by banana groves. Artillery pieces and armored cars provided additional support. Lightly armed Australian pioneers supported by tanks and carriers crossed the Damour River and pushed forward into the Vichy positions.Attacker: Australian (D Company, 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion, 17th Brigade and 6th Division Cavalry Regiment)
Defender: Vichy French (2ème Bataillon, 29ème Régiment de Tirailleurs Algériens, Armée du Levant)

| 2024-02-12 | (A) Jeff Wright | vs | Stu Rubin | Vichy French win (VASL Log) | The Aussies expected a fairly easy day, but they were in for a rather rude awakening. The plan was for the Aussies to send an flanking force sweeping around from the east, while the main force would press hard up from the south. The French had a tight defence concentrated around the town, with a small force to protect the road approach from the east. The Aussies miscalculated how long it would take to get their flanking force into the fight, which was further slowed by the French picket and reinforcements. The main force was able to advance under cover of the orchards, but once they got up to the town, they weren't able to dislodge the French. They consistently shot poorly, not able to make any real gains, and broke nearly every time they were shot at, never recovering. The flanking move was a bit of a strategic error, although they could still have gotten in the fight soon enough to make an effect, and the French had a solid setup, but the Aussies just couldn't get their act together either (yes it was a bit of a dicing). |
