Overview:

On 22 January, VI Corps landed at Anzio to outflank the Gustav Line. The Allies spent the first few days consolidating their bridgehead. By the 29th, VI Corps commander, Major General John Porter Lucas, was finally ready to break out. The Germans had used the intervening time wisely, and were able to contest the Allied advance. The British on the right had taken the town of Aprilia and continued to drive to the north. At 0630 on 31 January, the 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards-with the support of American tank destroyers-headed to Campoleone to take the town.

2025-09-20(A) Lawrence Flaherty vs German / Finnish Allied (British/American) winDown to the last roll, last CC. It could have gone either way.
2025-08-21(D) Craig Renier vs Chris Hofland German winThe Brits attacked the German left flank. Progress was fast the first two turns, but they momentarily forgot about pf's, giving up one AFV. On Turn 3 the Germans rolled exceptionally well, breaking 2 leaders and 5 MMCs. Brit Rally Phase failed to help. With the British left flank crushed and the right flank stalled, the Brits conceded by Turn 4.
2025-07-25(A) nathan wegener vs Doug Kirk German winToo aggressive w TDs and lost one to CC and then parked in the HIP ATG LOS. Hard to win w/o armour support. StL25
2025-07-10(A) Claus Jakobsen vs Peter Albrechtsen Allied (British/American) win
2025-07-07(D) Andy Bagley vs Josh Kalman German winThe Allies concentrated their attack in the centre and made very good progress at first, with long-range shots from the German defenders doing little damage. As a result, the British infantry soon established itself in the southern part of the village, although one American AFV was lost to German tank fire. The Germans hurriedly regrouped and were able to halt the Allied at the N5-U9 road, where exchanges of fire failed to shift the defenders. Eventually, the Allies attempted to cross the road in open ground supported by an AFV, but good defensive shooting meant they took heavy losses including the AFV. Down two AFVs and with little infantry left the Allies conceded - possibly prematurely although the Germans were definitely better.
