[edit] Supercharge II

I've lost a few edits today on this, due to conflicts - sorry if my frustation shows. So a few comments. Good - no: great - to see an expansion, but the description on the original XXX Corps attack needs expansion. It seems to me that Supercharge II (not Supercharge, which was elsewhere) is subsidiary to Pugilist: if not, then the article should be split or renamed. The chunk about the discovery of "Wilder's Gap", planning and movement into position is a part of Supercharge II (IMO) and should not be confused with the main Pugilist. The NZETC website is critical about the conduct of operations in the Tebaga Gap and these should be added, at least as an opinion - I think it has weight. Folks at 137 19:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I missed this and put a note on your talk page. Apologiews again since I normally try to keep discussions on the same page. This is what I put on your page:

Hi Folks! I think your recent change to the Supercharge heading is wrong. As I understand it the original left hook through the gap by NZ Corps was part of the original Pugilist plan to cut off Italian 1st Army and advance to Sfax. It stalled in the Tebaga Gap on 23/24th March at which point Pugulist ended. Supercharge was the amended plan bringing in 1st Armoured and commenced 26 March. This is all stated in the NZ official history found by following the link in 6. References. Are your sources saying something different?

[edit] Rename?

Since the article now covers both Pugilist and Supercharge II, perhaps it should be renamed to "Battle of the Mareth Line". -- Hongooi 15:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Possibly. There's a group of articles that cover the same series of events - Operation Capri, Mareth Line and this. I intend to draw them together, perhaps in the Mareth Line article, with redirects, or possibly a new one ("Battle of the Mareth Line" is a possible title). Folks at 137 18:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
