Overview:

The battle for control of Ortona had been raging for three days. Going into the 23rd of December, the defending German paratroopers of the 1st Fallschirmjaeger Division seemed to retain the initiative no matter what actions the attacking Canadians took. Many of the Germans were veterans of urban fighting in Russia. One group of German paratroopers was led by veteran Feldwebel Fritz Illi. Illi kept his men moving constantly as they contested the Canadians for control of block after block. The men of the 2nd Canadian Brigade “Seaforth Highlanders” pressed their attack against Illi’s men.
Attacker: Canadian (2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade "Seaforth Highlanders")

2020-12-28(A) nathan wegener vs Dan Best German winPlay Test - Good premise and action. Not enough time for Brits to wade through the debris and into the victory area.
HMG & 9-2 was too much to get past as well.
