Overview:

As the prelude to the liberation of Marseille, Free French Forces were ordered to capture and hold the highway triangle at Aubagne-Gemenos-Couin, which lay to the east of the city. In their way stood the veteran 244th Infanterie-Regiment, ensconced within a formidable series of mines and roadblocks. Leading the Allied advance was the 2nd Groupe de Tabors Marocains, composed almost entirely of North African colonial troops who wore striped djellabas (cloaks), the sight of which lent the French landscape, as one veteran would later recall, "a distinctly African appearance." He would also recall that many pf these same Moroccan soldiers "carried vicious-looking knives."

2024-03-09(D) Simon Staniforth vs Toby Pilling Free French winAn excellent attack by my opponent as one would expect.. Despite a fair amount of ROF, the 37s were unable to get any serious effect on the Shermans or Scotts which were therefore able to move and fire with relative impunity. They did though take out the 2 Greyhounds. Similarly the defence just couldn’t seem to get any hurt on the attacking Free French (losing the German 81mm MTR for the game on its first shot didn’t help) who swept through the outer defences taking pretty much every Unit prisoner. A smokescreen from the AFVs / OBA then enabled the FF to move in with their DCs and CC Stealthy advantages and it was all over with a couple of turns to go
