Overview:

During the pre-dawn hours the U.S. 7th Army successfully landed at both Licata and Gela. Unaware of each others plans, the Italians and Germans began a series of uncoordinated attacks against the Americans with the intention of breaking through to the beachhead. In the Gela area, the Italians were attacking with a mobile armored force while on the eastern edge of the invasion came two columns of the Hermann Goring FallschirmPanzer Division. One of these columns was busy engaging the Americans at Piano Lugo, the other attacked the inexperienced 45th “Thunderbird” Division at Biscari Station. With their Tiger tanks unable to keep pace in the dense olive groves of the region, the German infantry would have to overwhelm the Americans without armor support.
Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier Regiment 1, Hermann Göring FallschirmPanzer Division)
Defender: American (1st Batt., 180th Regiment, 45th Division and scattered elements of the 82nd Airborne)

2022-06-15(A) Shane Pask vs German winOriginally planned on sending the majority of my force to the west where there was some cover. But dice rolls opened up the East flank and slowed the West so swung in that direction. This did two things: eased the pressure to the west where my kill stack got past the house covering the wheat field, and decimated my troops racing across the open ground. However, by turn 4 the last Yank squad broke and the way was unopposed to exit. Yanks managed 5 VP.
2022-04-25(D) Bob McKenna vs Robert Kroczynski American winUS secures right flank..Mortar team finally.zeros in on Germans in open ground , stop.2 or 3 German surges, sends them.back to woods. Great game
2022-03-21(A) Craig Renier vs Jim Liang American winThe Americans setup aggressively with nearly all units within 5 hexes of the German entry board edge. The Germans slammed into the American right flank driving two American squads out of the stone building covering the NE side. The Americans held their ground on the left and made a slow withdrawal on the right. The squads on the right found themselves surrounded, but withstood withering fire. After 3 turns, the Germans used a rear guard to finally clear these holdouts while the rest of the force attempted to bypass. It was at this point the German player forgot about the VCs and instead focused on attacking the American positions, sustaining casualties in doing so. The dice took advantage of this oversight. In Turn 5 a German MMC entered into CC with an American SMC and was subsequently eliminated. Realizing the error and seeing the Americans were not far from eliminating enough German units for a win, the German player shifted efforts and moved as quickly as possible for the board edge. The Germans still had a small rear guard which was keeping a strong American force from flanking the German advance and attacking from the rear. The Americans struck this rear guard. The Allies had a path to victory if they could maneuver to eliminate rout paths and then break enough of the German units. A German conscript laid down residual blocking the American's path. The last American unit able to reach the required hex, the 9-1 leader, was pinned by the residual. It seemed the Germans would be able to reach the board edge before the Americans could eliminate more German units. In the AFPh, the conscript CR'd, but the remaining HS survived the MC. And then, inside a stone building, the broken wounded leader failed his MC and wound check. The MMC with the leader failed the attack MC and then rolled box cars for the LLMC giving the Americans just enough VPs for a win.
2022-03-21(D) Jim Liang vs Craig Renier American win
2022-01-09(A) Kamil Dziarmaga vs American German winExtremely bloody on both sides.
