Overview:

As the Allied beachhead in Sicily expanded, the impatient General George Patton demanded better facilities for supplying his troops. Under orders not to launch an offensive, Patton hit upon the subterfuge of calling his advance a “reconnaissance in force”. Pushing up from Gela, the job of seizing the docks at Porto Empedocle fell to the 3rd Ranger Battalion. . .

2023-04-22(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Sullivan American winThe Italians could not escape the American rush and after taking a few prisoners, the Americans had their triple CVP. By turn 4 the Axis had to go on the offensive to try and get some CVP, but they lost as much as they gained. Axis need to set up in the rears, have the Italian run to the German building and create an Axis Alamo there. My thoughts.
