The Battle of Kasserine pass is an expansion module to the original GMT game Kasserine: Rommel's Battle for Tunisia, 1943 by Vance von Borries. It was released in issue Nr15 of RBM's C3i Magazine and features a new map of the Kasserine Pass and 40 new counters (15 German, 5 Italian, 18 American and 2 British). All units are company size. The scale of the battle for Kasserine Pass differs from the original 2 miles/hex. The map is zoomed in on the pass itself and is scaled at 0.35 miles/hex. This also led to a change in time scale. Every turn is now 4 hours (instead of half a day in the original game). A few minor alterations in the original rules have been made to accommodate the change of scale. Included in C3i magazine #15 (2003) GMT's Kasserine: Rommel's Battle for Tunisia, 1943 (2001) is required to play this module from C3i magazine.
