iii. Barrage segmentAs a defensive measure, we’ll bomb a few locations to deter Axis aggression next turn.Bomber group 1: Wellington, Blenheim V, and B-25 bomb Medjez el Bab: 17 barrage points. Flakis very light and the bombs (12 column due to close terrain) fall way off target (roll of 2).Bomber group 2: A mixed assemblage of B-26s, P-38s, and reduced strength Baltimores andBlenheims (12 factors) bomb units of 10 th Panzer next to Mateur. Flak is quite heavy (9 +1 for 4aircraft in the mission) but causes no significant damage. As bad as Bomber group 1’s targetingwas, Bomber group 2’s is good. A roll of 12 (on the 8 column due to close terrain) is a 1/2 result,the subsequent roll of 5 kills off the 2-7 armored battalion! Quite a coup!D. Supply PhaseAll Allied units are in supply.E. Reaction PhaseAbout the only thing the Axis can do is release the Superga 5 th artillery regiment in Ferryville andfire off a 12-point barrage against Mateur (3T from Bizerte). 3 REs in the hex (close terrain) so theshells fall using the 8 column. ANOTHER 12(!) for a 1/2 result. Subsequent roll is a 3, however, sono step losses occur.F. Combat Phase48
