...Allied drive was stopped. Heavier Axis troops, operating from closer bases, had stopped it 15 miles short of its goal. The battle seesawed for a few days, broke up into sanguinary, local engagements. Torrential rains poured onto Tunisia, turning mountain roads into mires, disrupting Allied supply. There was nothing to do but fall back from Tébourba into the most available positions. The gamble was lost...
