Overview:

The small city and port of Gela was at the center of the American landing beaches and therefore was an important target. Colonel William Darby and his famous Rangers were to take the town during the landings. It was a difficult task, but one that the tough and experienced Rangers expected to be able to handle with ease given the town was thought to be defended by war weary, low grade Italian Coastal Defense units. However, the 429th Coastal Battalion was not so disposed to surrender. Commanded by Major Rabellino, the 429th fought the Rangers for every building in the small city.
Attacker: American (Force X, 1st and 4th Ranger Battalions, 39th Combat Engineer Regiment, and 83rd Chemical Mortar Battalion)
Defender: Italian (429th Coastal Battalion, 18th Coastal Defense Brigade)

2021-11-12(A) O Ramaille vs Erwan Porte Italian winWith my opponent, we decided to give this scenario another chance, taking into account the huge update in the second edition (-2 Italian Squad, higher CVP cap for the Americans).The Americans faced a good spread Italian defense and decided to enter in force in the center with a flanking group to the West. The Americans using smoke and WP from the mortar progressed in the center and the flanking group finally eliminated the Italian defense on the left. However, playing cat and mouse and skulking, the Italians evaded most of the firepower of the Americans and still held 5 multihex buildings after turn 4. The Rangers launched the final assault wave, eliminating a lot of Italian units through failure to rout and freed 2 other multihex buildings. The last three remained out of reach with the Americans unable to force back the Italians in a fortified building and the 10-3 leader and 2 US squads being killed in a desperate move to reach them. Only 3 Italian squad, a crew and 2 leaders remained good order at the end (12 CVP losses for the Americans and 25 CVP loss for the Italians).
Despite the major changes in this 2nd edition, the scenario still greatly favors the Italians who outnumber the Americans and have great firepower with 2 Art guns, 2 mortars, 1 HMG, 2 MMG and 5 LMG. A good Italian player should systematically win this one, through evasion but that should not provide a lot of fun.
2021-09-11(A) César Moreno vs Juno29 Italian winMal despliegue y mal plan. fui hacia los lados. En la derecha me eliminaron gran parte de mis fuerzas. En la izquierda tuve cierto éxito pero no tuve tiempo de regresar al otro lado del mapa.
2020-05-18(D) Macari Samuel vs G. Italian winBecause of the imbalance in the scenario, my opponent and I made the Americans play the advantage. This was not enough and the Italians, thanks to an aggressive placement, quickly put the attackers into great difficulty. Distributed all over the map, they forced the Americans to disperse. Despite their superior firepower, they could not do anything and a close fight was fatal to them in the fifth round. 13 CVP earned.
2020-03-24(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Grachev Italian win
2019-03-31(A) Tom Abromaitis vs Italian winNot even close.
