Nice. Is this the Rapid Fire scenario which appeared in the v1 rulebook? We've played that a couple of times (once using Rapid Fire, and once using Battlefront:WW2). It's a good one. |

A re-write, but yes basically the same game. |

A great scenario done really well with all the many bells and whistles it requires! Your blog has been a huge inspiration to me in building up 1/300 forces for Tunisia. |

Don't want to nitpick a fantastic AAR, but just for anyone else preparing stuff for Saafi, no US bazookas and probably no DUKWs at this stage of the war. |

The Germans captured bazookas in Tunisia (they used them as a base model for the Panzershreck), so I assume the Yanks must have had them during Torch?? I just looked it up both M1 and M6 bazookas issued in small numbers to troops for Torch……… As for the DUKW – my LCA/LCMs are Japanese landing barges and my gunboat is German armed trawler :) |

Now it's my turn to nitpick: why center align the body copy of the blog? It's torment to read, IMO. I think it would be better to maybe center align the headings and left align the copy. |

Crikey, that's a labour of love. What a lot of info and photos – thanks for sharing. A very neglected part of the war. |

Thanks on the bazooka correction, Richard. Perhaps what I had read some time ago is that the US forces were only actually properly trained in their use later, so they didn't use bazookas at Torch.
Looking forward to more of your great AARs down the line! |

No worries, it wouldn`t be the first time I`d got something wrong – this time i wasn`t :) I was explaining to the lads during the game how I`d read of both Ft17s and French armoured cars knocked out with rifle grenades, in one incident the A/Cs were approaching dug-in 37mm AT guns, when the covering infantry knocked out the first car with their grenade :) |
