I'm now playing the battle for Sidon. It's a good deal more challenging to be on the attack, especially when it comes to managing and effectively moving large numbers of troops in a smallish area of space. I worry I don't move fast enough, the Vichyists are supposed to be delaying me, and I think they're doing a good job.
The beginning of my advance. Laid some smoke down, tried to do fire and maneuver with three platoons. Got lucky and managed to take out an entire machine-gun crew with one volley(!) which sped things up.
The situation now is that I've taken the villa in the center, after battering the houses with arty and pushing them out with an infantry charge. Now we're fighting for the entrance to Sidon.
Towards the south I encountered only a few French troops. I've anchored my line in the American school, and I wanted to use more troops to flank Sidon from beneath, however...
Tanks! I have a few Boys rifles but I'm not too confident about them in standup fight.
Fortunately, some reinforcements arrived in the nick of time, in the form of a 25-lbers and two 2-lber AT guns. Got unlucky, however, when a French fighter strafed one and took it out.
