05/03/1943 - Blitz in Mateur

50 Km from Tunisi, Mateur seems to be one of the last defence lines of the DAK. the Order riceived informations about some Officiers, formerly part of Kampfgruppe Volkenhauer, still digged in Mateur, maybe left behind by their Capt.
After the the flee from Zuara, Volkenhauer retreated in Tunisi, and he is very likely to be already gone in some reach of the Reich. That's how the Order needs to get some of his officiers to make them tell where did Volkenhauer go. The mission is easy, while intense firefights are tearing Mateur apart, and the U.S. Amry is making a push to eradicate german defences, the freedom fighters will sneak up to the spot where these officiers are, and try to capture one.
Rev. Isaac, Elias, Montana, the French Pilot, the Mafia guys, te LRDG, Sophie and Claire are coming along. Poor Bertrand wasn't the same after seeing the mummy, and he's back in the U.S. camp, tied to a camp bed to deal with his nightmares...

The block is lightly guarded, as the main fight is going on somewhere else. THese appear to be only rearguards or reserves.

"Sick" Robbie, Gary and Sophie move past some big building to catch the DAL unprepared.

Vanni and Montana come along, and the Archaeologist sneaks up the stairs to get rid silently of the two guards.

Robbie pulls a smoke granade, thus covering Montana Stone's advance up to the rooftop. The DAK soldiers are suprised!
Montana all'assalto

Meanwhile a bunch of american soldiers show up. They've broken the line some block away and they're trying to get a good position to defend from counterattacks.
Arrivano gli Americani!

Seeing the assault of Montana Stone, some DAK soldiers pop uf on a rooftop and start putting some intense fire on the big house.

Montana is unlucky, and a miserable grunt hits his head swinging his Kar98 in the air. He's a star tho, so his famous hat manages to keep him alive (that prof. really cheated death!).

AS the GI's try to get to an elevated house, an MG pops up from a window, distrupting the squad's coherency and morale.
Americani all'assalto

Meanwhile the LRDG and the French Guy, covered by the second smoke granade from Robbie, jump past a low wall and run to storm the DAK HQ and get some prisoners.
Assalto al QG coperti da fumo

On the GI side, a single DAK still alive in he elevated house lobs a granade right above the incoming team. The blast is furious, and no GI survives.

Robbie runs around the corner, finding a DAK sergeant ready to put him down. Then comes Dumbass Howard and empties his Sten clip right ino the Jerry. Robbie received just a scratch.

AS the LRDG storms the big house, the Mafiosi clean the houses around, and Totò shows his muscles getting the Krauts into close combat.

The assault is over... Isaac Robbie and Howie manage to get their hands on a DAK Ltn. and his personal retinue. Tony's torturer talent is going to have them speak quite quickly.
