Overview:

During six months of static mountain warfare around Cassino, the New Zealand Divisional Cavalry had found little use for their lumbering Staghound armored cars. This changed after Rome fell. In hot pursuit of the retreating enemy in the Liri valley, the Cavalry were often in the lead, receiving a liberator's welcome from the Italian population. This did not last long: at the end of July they ran into the outposts of the Gothic Line, defended by the hardened veterans and Bassotto (Dachshund) assault guns of 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division.
Attacker: New Zealand (23 Battalion and A Squadron, Divisional Cavalry Regiment, 2nd New Zealand Division)
Defender: German (II. Bataillon, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 12, 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division)

2023-04-18(D) Rob Schmitt vs Mitch Davis German winI was Germain defender vs British attacker. British player was very aggressive with his Stagehounds. All three eventually went up in flames due to PanzerFausts at close range. My initial Stug did poorly and fell to his Infantry in a CC attack quickly. British was able to break into the village center, but my turn 3 counter attack forces were able to seize several buildings he had previously captured. A late desperation charge by British was cut down. One die-hard German Squad tied up his forces in the village center for most of the game.
