    ah, Burma then. I kinda assumed based on the relatively sparse vegetation that it'd be Africa.

    ..

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The last surviving units had been replaced by M4s at the beginning of 1943.

    Ironically, many depleted units equipped with M4 were reequipped with M3s, notably the 3/13th Armored regiment. The other unit entirely equipped with M3s was the 751st Tank Battalion of the 34th Infantry Division. By the time of Operation Husky (campaign of Sicily), the M3 was still in use by these units, but once again, the losses were replaced by M4s, and by mid-1943, all M3s in this sector had been phased out from active units.
    source

    Here an Europeized M3 Lee/Grant ..

    Returning to the OP: Race for Tunis?
