Decion at Kasserine - Day 1 2nd Battle

With the air strike over it was time for the panzers to roll. Holding position just outside the Faid pass is a solitary company of American tanks on outpost duty.  A sand storm provides cover for the German advance. This meant that both sides would first observe each other at  close rang and that the Americans would not get any opportunity fire. Comparing the stats of the Germans Panzer III versus the Americans Shermans this was good news for the Germans. So as a result the battle was over two turns. Ending in the complete destruction of he Americans while the Germans lost only a single tank.

Overall a historical result, but it did take an hour. Thereby giving the Americans a chance to react. What would they do?
