Overview:
The weeks-long struggle for Massa on the coastal plains of northwest Italy brought to the forefront longstanding issues of ill trust and poor morale throughout the 92nd Infantry Division, the only African-American Infantry Division to see combat in World War II. After Massa, the 92nd was responsible for the 20-mile wide line from the sea to Barga in Serchio Valley. The Buffalo Soldiers of the 370th Infantry Regiment conducted powerful patrols into the Tuscan hills, probing deeper into the Serchio. On 16 November, a reinforced company attacked fortified positions outside Eglio. This area of the Gothic Line was defended by Germans and German-trained Italians. Both the Monte Rosa Alpini Division and the San Marco Marine Infantry Division had been formed, equipped, and trained in Germany from ex-Italian military and northern Italian conscripts.Attacker: American (370th Infantry Regiment, 92nd Infantry Division)

Errata (source)
| not really errata, but some advice I gave to playtesters hope it helps to enjoy the scenario. | |
| 1) dummies can pretend to be leaders, go CX, etc. etc.; 2) building + wood terrain A.24 and example in A4.31 it costs 4MF to enter, 2 MF to Bypass and has TEM +3 (+2 building and +1 woods) advancing into it will probably make you CX in advance phase or is going to lose your concealment if you skulk into it; 3) path is not a road, so no road bonus; 4) attacker sees trenches and PFZ; 5) game turn end is when the defender finish his turn, so italians have always the possibility to counter attack and denies victory to americans, it's not enough to take the buildings you have to keep them till the end of the turn. | Paolo Cariolato designer |
