		However, in Osprey Campaign #152, veteran author Stephen J. Zaloga argues that, "contrary to the popular image, Kasserine Pass was in the end an Allied victory." This is a very hard-sell argument and if it was not a historian of Zaloga's caliber making it, this thesis would probably be dead on arrival.
		The section on the actual fighting in Kasserine Pass is good, emphasizing both Rommel's failure to settle on a single tactical objective and the chaotic Allied efforts to stem the German breakthrough.
		At this point, Zaloga probably should have started to wrap the volume up, since he had covered the actual Kasserine Pass fighting, but instead he chooses to cover the US role in the final stages of the Tunisian Campaign in the last third of the volume.

		We should point out from the outset that the code we're in possession of is pre-alpha, which means that it's a little rough around the edges.
		The opening to the Kasserine Pass level we played was suitably impressive.
		Defences taken out, it's a simple case of entering the bunker complex, killing a handful of soldiers and securing the explosives that are then used to breach rocks that block the path to the next section of the Kasserine Pass level.

		A makeshift British task force positioned on one flank of the mile wide Kasserine Pass was responsible for delaying the Germans long enough for important Allied regroupings to the rear.
		There were, of course, other reasons for the Kasserine calamity: the Allies had sent their troops into combat with inferior equipment.
		American tanks with their 37mm and 75mm guns and thin armor were no match for the German Panzers with their 75mm and 88mm guns and much heavier armorplate.

		Both Kasserine Pass and Over lord are clean, highly enjoyable games and, in both cases, victory results can go either way.
		Overlord, like Kasserine, is also by Conflict Games Co. and covers the Normandy Campaign from 6th June with the Allies on French soil, up to 28th August.
		As in Kasserine, unit strengths are from Brigade down--the CRT is the standard A/D retreat A/D eliminated and Exchange-- but the difference is that 2 CRT's are used the first for June and other is for July/ August.

		Having served previously with the Rangers in North Africa (Kasserine Pass) and Italy (Anzio) alongside Captain Miller, Technical Sergeant Mike Horvath (Tom Sizemore) was a member of Company C, 2nd Ranger Battalion on June 6th, 1944.
		The only Ranger unit at Kasserine Pass was the 1st Ranger Battalion, while the 1st, 3rd and 4th Ranger Battalions participated in the Anzio landings.
		It is possible that both men served with the 1st Rangers at Kasserine Pass, switched to the 4th Rangers for the Anzio landings, and were then transferred to the 2nd Rangers for the Normandy assault.

		In terms of yardage lost, the defeat at Kasserine exceeded even the diaster at the Bulge almost two years later.
		But because the Germans were unable to exploit their winnings, it really had little strategic impact on the North African campaign.
		The Axis cause was still doomed, and less than three months later Tunisia had been completely swept clean.
