Overview:

The Brazilian Expeditionary Force commanded by General Mascarenhas de Moraes arrived in Italy in July 1944 and served with the US 5th Army until the end of the war. On April 26, 1945, while strengthening defenses around newly captured Parma, news came of German units fleeing north towards the city along Highway 62. The Brazilian recon squadron of Greyhound armored cars was dispatched to probe south along the Taro River. By early afternoon, at the town of Collecchio, they encountered Italian-built armored cars of the 90.Panzer-Grenadier-Division, which they chased off. Late in the afternoon, German infantry and a concealed FlaK gun were discovered. The squadron called for help, which arrived in jeeps and trucks: infantry, including the commander of II.Battalion, Major Ramagen.

Errata (source)
Errata: SSR 3 says "A +1 Dusk LV Hindrance equal to Mist (E3.32) is in effect". Delete "+1". Question: The scenario card specifies that only hexes west of the river are in play. There are pair of hexes such that LOS between them cross hexes that are not in play. Are such LOS blocked because of crossing such out-of-play hexes? Answer: No. Question: SSR 1 specifies that "all buildings are stone". Is the Lumberyard stone? Answer: No. Question: Per SSR 2, Printed stairwells do not exist. Which of the large round center dot (B31.3), the white square (B23.23) or the white cross (Steeple; B31.2) are considered Printed stairwells? Answer: Only the white square is a Printed stairwell. http://www.friendlyfire.se/asl/packs/8/
