Short entry, as our attack had run into some problems especially on the Left Flank with the Fast Attack Group. As misfortune would have it we discovered a new British Tank, which turned out to be the Centurion. This Heavy Tank was fielding a 20pdr Gun and showed us in short order; about 20-25mins what it could do to Panther and Cheetah frontal armour. Only 4 of them at this point were ID�d and accounted for 9 to 10 panzers before being neutralized with combined Panzer, Arty and Hubz strikes. Most of the attached Pz Gen moved to the Suez Berm during this savage exchange.

Heavy Attack Group progress at the same time was mostly to schedule, although 3 Jaguars were out, 2 destroyed & 1 had a track taken out by infantry. A 6pdr lucky strike and a Comet shot to the side were to blame. This attack was still more or less on track. 3 Jaguars would be detached to assist on the Left Flank.

The actual bridge assaults were about to commence. The enemy still had an unknown amount of Comets on the Western side of the Suez Canal.
