DEATH OF THE 2/17 FA

On the 14th of February 1943, the
American 1st Armored Division suffered a
defeat at the hands of the 21st Panzer
Division near the town of Sidi Bou Zid.
One supporting unit, the 2nd Battalion,
17th Field Artillery, was ordered to move
from its exposed positions east of the
town to the southwest.  It was too late,
however, as it was struck repeatedly by
dive bombers to the point it was rendered
destroyed as a fighting unit.

MISSION

Destroy the flak guns (representing
artillery guns) surrounding the target.
You must destroy at least 4 guns to
support the 21st Panzer's drive to
Sbeitla.

NOTES

This is a day mission.
