 The battle for Tunis has gone very poorly so far. Half the core has been destroyed, and Tunis is currently in Allied hands. There's not really a need to show our plan, since it's going to be basically, "try to avoid bombs/shells". Axis Turn 7: December 14, 1942 Clear(dry)  We push back with our anti-tank units and recapture Tunis. But there are more tanks still coming over the river.  Tebessa is coming under heavy pressure, though, and we are forced to send the defenders to attack the British scout cars. Allied Turn 7: December 14, 1942  The city of Tunis is still coming under heavy shelling from the British navy.  While the city holds, the Allies are coming in force over the river. Axis Turn 8: December 20, 1942 Clear(dry)  We've finally eliminated enough enemy planes to make them only a minor threat to the ground troops. A lot of this is actually the AI's own doing -- for some reason it's allowed a lot of the fighters to run out of ammo while still in our territory. Maybe due to overloaded airfields?  We throw whatever we can in the way of the enemy's advance. Luckily we are still able to muster a few more infantry troops. Allied Turn 8: December 20, 1942  Despite our ability to deploy infantry, the enemy ships and planes are still able to destroy them at will.  The flak guns we rolled to block the enemy armor do end up holding the line. Axis Turn 9: December 26, 1942 Clear(dry)  The Tiger tanks continue to devastate the American armor, but eventually enemy artillery takes its toll.  Several enemy units are eliminated. We take fairly high casualties ourselves, but may have managed to stop the enemy advance. Allied Turn 9: December 26, 1942  The towed artillery we hoped to redeploy at Tunis ends up destroyed by enemy ships.  The Americans do not stop coming. Tunis is lost, and many of our units are in a pretty sorry state. Axis Turn 10: January 1, 1943 Clear(dry)  All our efforts are focused on Tunis. The close quarters of the city makes the American tanks easy pickings for our infantry.  Tebessa is still holding on, but the enemy has now brought more artillery into range.  Allied bombers haven't learned to stay away from our one good flak gun there. Allied Turn 10: January 1, 1943  All the infantry in range of the shoreline is targeted by the enemy navy. We have to do something about those ships or we're going to lose.  The Allies finally make a big hole in our defense by eliminating our flak guns and using their bombers to weaken the units in our rear area. Axis Turn 11: January 7, 1943 Clear(dry)  Finally, the enemy Daimler car is eliminated. They don't have too many experienced troops left.  Tebessa is still maintaining a good defense. The tanks in the south (especially the Tiger) have to call off their attacks due to a lack of supplies. Allied Turn 11: January 7, 1943  Rather than try to go for Tunis again, the enemy keeps reducing our infantry. At this point, we're running out of prestige to replace them. Axis Turn 12: January 13, 1943 Clear(dry)  Even though the enemy broke through over the Medjerda there appear to be no units following behind the push. We work on containing them. Tebessa is barely hanging on, but should hold if we're lucky. Allied Turn 12: January 13, 1943  The interior is quiet for once. The enemy navy continues to pound us, but if there are no ground troops building up behind their lines, we can survive this. Sure, we might survive this. But as of now, the battle is only half over.
