Disclaimer: Apparently I suck at TOAW.
Having played France 40 as the Germans (my first try at TOAW) and taking Paris on my last turn to earn an overwhelming victory, I was feeling pretty confident in my ability but that was soon to change. Last night I started the Kasserine scenario, playing the allies as I had read the PO is better at attack than defence, and that turned out to be very true. In fact, I was getting my ass kicked by the computer. I read the strategy articles on this site before but, alas, so has the computer it would seem, because it blasted my defence all over the place. I tried defending in the mountains north, east and west of Kasserine, hoping to wear down the German spearhead and counter attacking with my small reserve, but that counter attack never came as my forces were pushed back and beaten up. So, can anyone give me some pointers as how to defend properly in this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
