Overview:

On November 8th 9142, Operation Torch drew French North Africa into war as the Allied landings in Morocco and Algeria compelled the first axis troops to enter Tunisia. On the 19th, a first engagement took place between the French, supported by some other Allied units, and the Germans, to the southwest of Tunis. Some others broke out while the Axis tried to widen their territory and thus, protect Rommel's rearguard retreating through Libya. Sometimes, the French Armee d'Afrique had to stand alone. In the north, at Sidi-Nsir, a strongpoint of the 15eme Regiment de Tirailleurs Senegalais was covering the road through a narrow pass. On the 21st, coming from Mateur, an Italo-German column supported by several Semovente tested the waters. An attack began around 1100, just after the arrival of several 47mm guns and armored cars of the 4eme RCA.

2022-01-13(A) Will Willow vs Glen Mac Dermid French winWent to the last turn. VASL WO RD1.
2020-01-24(A) Stephen dedier vs Crawford, Brent French winThis is an interesting scenario. The French have it pretty difficult I think but the Italians have to be careful and I was not. I got in real trouble on a 2FP shot that DMs 2 squads and a leader and Brent was able to go on the offensive there and crush my left flank. After that it was more of Italian desperation and I was not able to clear enough French for the win.
2019-12-10(D) Gordon Jupp vs Andy Bagley German / Italian winFrench had poor morale and poor shooting, Andy got his forces onto the French left hill and was ahead in the cvp match, called it T4.....
