About the game
In the middle of March 1943, the 1st Ranger Battalion captured
El Guettar oasis, meeting almost no resistance. Italian forces
defending the oasis retreated and took up positions in the nearby
hills. On March 20, the Rangers along with the 1st ID attacked
them, captured more than 500 prisoners and a large number of
ammunition and equipment. Units of 16 and 18 IR, 1st ID took
positions in the mountains, east of the oasis, blocking Highway 15
leading to Gabes. The forces of 601 and 899 TD battalions were
located in the second echelon, front to the highway. Artillery of
the division took positions along the Keddab ridge. The German
command transferred the most combat-effective 10 TD, which had more
than 100 tanks and armored personnel carriers, and rapidly prepared
a counter-offensive plan to capture El Guettar.
