Casablanca

**Casablanca** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

Excellent choice, Sir. You are about to embark on an operation to capture the Vichy held territories in northwestern Africa. The ultimate goal is to clear the Axis powers from North Africa and prepare for an invasion of Southern Europe. It is also the start of a second front against the Germans, to reduce the pressure of German forces on the Soviet troops.

Your orders are to land before daybreak at two points in Morocco: Fedala and Mehdiya-Port Lyautey. Sir, don't underestimate the importance of Craw Field airfield near Port Lyautey. Aerial reinforcements can be brought in from Gibraltar as soon as this airfield is captured. Don't underestimate the Vichy French pilots, for they have gained quite some combat experience during Cases Yellow and Red back in 1940.

Amongst your objectives is the city of Casablanca. It is the principal French Atlantic naval base after the German occupation of the European coast. Currently it harbours destroyers, light cruisers, submarines and the incomplete battleship Jean Bart. Without question, any Vichy French naval vessel that forms a potential threat can be fired upon.

The US forces committed to the landing near Safi, will speed towards Casablanca as soon as their mission is complete, to join the siege of the city and participate in its inevitable capture. Expect their arrival southwest of Casablanca in a couple of days. Good luck, Sir.

### Decisive victory

Unfortunately, as a result, Berlin has ordered the occupation of Vichy France and began sending troops to Tunisia. This will undoubtedly turn the battle for North Africa into something more complicated and dearly-won.

As soon as Morocco and Algeria are consolidated, your forces must head for Tunisia faster than lighting. The earlier we can strike into Tunisia the better, before the Germans get the chance to plan countermeasures.
