Mech War in Tunisia again

 Same armies as last week, but this time Jim commands the Afrika Korps & the terrain has been tweeked.

The Germans are on the left..  There are 4 objectives, the two farms & the two ridges either side of the centre. The terrain naturally led to Mike deploying the Brits in 3 groups while Jim deployed the Germans in two groups.
On the right the Brits are advancing thru the farm towards the German left flank.
On the far flank the Germans have advanced the armour is exchanging shots across the valley.
Both sides have already secured two objectives.
On the far flank both sides are taking losses. 
The Germans have sent their armoured car from their left down the road to support their right.
on the right the Brits are moving up to attack the German flank. 

On the far flank, the Brits eventually got on top & destroyed all 3 panzers losing a Honey & having a Sherman immobilised. They then moved the Shermans on the centre ridge to support their left, but the Germans countered that by moving their Pak & Panzer out from behind the left of the ridge.
on the near flank the armoured car tipped the balance in favour of the Germans & the British attack petered out.

Both sides hold 2 objectives, but the Brits have lost 2 more units than the Germans (6 to 4) 6 units to the German's so it's a narrow German victory.
