By the middle of April 1943, the Axis forces had been pressed into a tight perimeter based on the last hills before the coastal plain around Bizerta and Tunis. A determined defense of these hills had halted the Allied First Army, but the Eighth Army had now pushed up to a position just south of Enfidaville. Allied air power was now predominant. General Alexander gave the Eighth Army the first attempt to break through in the south.

Designer Notes
Designer Notes: Players have 4 lives in 90 minutes. Ideally all pilots should join missions. In the future if CM’s are given a “mission only” tool players will have to join missions to participate in the frame. Points are totaled after each frame and after 3 frames the Allied or Axis winner will be announced. Top fighter and bomber pilots will be noted in the future in a Close Escort page. Allied Escorts will have their work cut out for them since the Boston is weak vs a fighter.
CM Notes
Only the fields listed on the map will be active. British bombers can take off from any field listed. Axis aircraft can also take off from any field listed. CGI. Full radar will be on for 3 country and players may use as they see fit.
