Overview:

During the initial invasion of Sicily, many American parachute units were given the task of blocking German movement towards the landing beaches. One such, the 3rd Battalion of the 504th Parachute Regiment, landed two miles northwest of Biscari. After gathering as many of the scattered troopers as possible, the understrength battalion moved out towards the town of Niscemi. As they approached the Niscemi-Biscari highway, they encountered and captured two Italian anti-tank guns. With the newly acquired guns to bolster their defenses, the paratroopers dug in on positions covering the main highway. Not long after the Americans had finished laying mines, a German column approached, composed of mixed units of the Hermann Goring Division. Caught by surprise initially, the Germans soon recovered and pressed the attack. . .

2021-02-13(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winAs the Germans, I elected to come in on GG5-GG6 and move down the gully. I managed to eliminate one AT Gun and then the other MALF'd. My armored car went down to a bazooka shot on Turn 3, but by then I was moving across Board 4 to the CC6 and Y9 buildings. My 9-2 kept the Americans broken and DM'd on that side of the map as the other squads advanced to take the positions. Final American counter-attacks were repelled for a German win.

2020-04-14(A) Pascal Boileau vs Doba Serge German winThe Germans entered through the woods and planned to capture the upper and the lower buildings. Serge with the Americans was not helped by Italian guns (one was captured on turn 3 and the other broke on turn 4). Then two German squads rushed for the upper building whereas the American troops were placed under pressure by the armored car and most of the German firepower. The American defense collapsed in the last two turns leaving scattered units unable to recapture the two lost buildings.
