Overview:
On the 18th of January the Germans launched Operation Eilbote in an effort to shore up their southern defenses by recapturing the eastern Dorsals mountain range and the Kebir reservoir that supplied water to Tunis. Colonel Weber of the 10th Panzer Division was given elements of the 756th Mountain, 20th Flak, and 501st Schwere Panzer Abteilung. Group Weber drove for three furious days through the French sector, covering over 37 miles until it contacted Combat Command B of the US First Armored Division.Attacker: American (Elements II/13th Armored Regt & II/6th Armored Infantry Regt, 1st Armored Division)
Defender: German (Elements 756th Gebirgsjager Regiment and Schwere Panzer Abteilung 501)

| AK 19 SSR 4 appears to need clarification it says American player makes a "dr+1 (FRU)" to determine the number of vehicles that enter each turn. Is it just dr +1 or dr/2 (FRU)? | |
| Q: AK 19 SSR 4 appears to need clarification it says American player makes a "dr+1 (FRU)" to determine the number of vehicles that enter each turn. Is it just dr +1 or dr/2 (FRU)? A: You should ignore the extraneous reference as you surmised | direct email to Ray Tapio |
| Q. AK #19 Heavy Metal: The scenario card in the box by the turn track states that the Germans set up first and the Americans move first. The caption over the German OB states that the entire German force enters "on turn two along the north edge." What am I missing? A: Strike the "Germans set up first" entry. | Ray Tapio AK Q&A |
