E. Reaction phase.Superga artillery regiment in Bizerte is released from reserve, moves adjacent to Ferryville, andfires off a 12-point barrage against the attacking units (3T). Close terrain (left 1) but 3.5 REs in hex(right 1) puts us on the 12-16 column. Result disorganizes the attackers!F. Combat PhaseUS 1 st Armored assaults Ferryville! 30 factors (x1/2 for DG) with AR = 3 (4-1 for DG, using British3 rd para) vs. 10 factors (x1/2 for DG) with AR = 3 (4-1 for DG, using Italian 10 Brs Regiment).6T supplies needed for the attack, 2T for the defense. No surprise on either side.3:1 in close terrain. Combat roll is a 6 -> AL1 Do1.The British 3 rd parachute battalion is eliminated. The Italians choose to eliminate the Italian 10 Brsrather than retreat.This is when it would have been nice to have some US armor units in reserve able to attack in theexploit phase… Another option would have been to barrage Ferryville one more time before combatusing artillery. But that would have been expensive in supplies and probably wouldn’t have inflictedany step loss anyway.G. Exploitation PhaseH. Clean up phaseRemove British DGs and flip fuel markers.23
