Overview
Axis forces were able to throw back the first Allied push toward the major ports of Tunis and Bizerte. Regrouping for a second offensive, the British 1st Army is now poised to jump off. One battalion of the US 1st Infantry division is sent to hold a key hill, recently captured by the British. A hill the 10th Panzer Division plans to retake. It will be the 1st Infantry Divisions first battle against the German foe.

Allies
Nicknamed by the British after a fielding position in Cricket, Longstop Hill is a prominent feature in the Medjerda Valley providing excellent views across the region. Point 290 is among the important positions that must be held against the Germans. If possible, drive the Germans from the region. Your men are new to combat and must prove themselves against a more powerful force that is sure to counterattack.

Axis
Your panzergenadiers and tanks must drive the green Americans from Djebel el Ahmera, also known as Point 290. An earlier British attack has succeeded in establishing Allied positions along the ridge, but American troops have relieved their postions. The Americans are green and have no experience against well-trained, veteran panzergrenadiers and panzers. You should have no problem driving them from Point 290 and surrounding postions.
