I am aware of the hard work map makers go into to produce maps/textures for our game.
I have all of the maps that include Tunisia including the Mr O map.

To build missions for Operation Torch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Torch
and the Battles in and near Kasserine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Kasserine_Pass, which involved some 55,000 troops,
I have no suitable map, as far as I know, that has all of the coast of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and enough of the southern part of Tunisia
to build the missions for the "race for Tunis".

Most Afrika campaign maps are centered around Battle of El Alamein and Tobruk or Tubruq, which is fine except that
very substantial battles were fought in Tunisia in late 42 and 43, battles that proved up which allied equipment,
aircraft and tanks could stand up to Germany's current best. Tunisia 42-43 was the proving ground for all future equipment standardization
and tactical deployment for the rest of the North African Campaign.
As a mission builder Tunisia is great b/c the Allies threw anything with wings into service including the Swordfish.
well I'm on a rant now - hope there will be a full Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia map someday.
The BEST map to use as a template would be the first map shown below which has part of Spain too, in my opinion.
