Others, who are better writers have described this unbalanced fight in Tunisia. I gave the T-Rex a real fight, and for about 6 turns, things really looked up for the Free France, inspite of bad die rolls, until the senior leader decapitation happened and Axis flanking maneuvers resulted in many pinned 7 demoralized units. In the end, the French infantry formations were just too weak to prevail in heavy combined arms fighting.

It was fun to play, but the 3, I give it is probably a better reflection of my patient and cunning opponent. Probably better to play as a solitaire episode. Little chance for the French to hold off the charing Axis formations.
