Overview:

The attack on Sicily was underway and U.S. forces had broken out from the Gela Beachhead. Armored forces were rapidly advancing against weak opposition -- mostly delaying units who would simply fire a few token shots then fall back to new defensive positions. After capturing Naro on 11 July, recon elements of the 2nd Armored Division were ordered to move on to Canicatti. Coming upon a narrow pass, two light tanks proceeded slowly through. A curve in the road was defended by four large caliber guns. The entire recon force came under intense machine gun fire, and two assault guns were ordered to the front to help provide covering fire.
Attacker: American (82nd Recon Battalion, 2nd Armored Division/G Company, 41st Infantry Battalion and D Company, 66th Armored Battalion)

2024-02-22(A) Paul Works vs Tom Meier American winGame came down to the last turn; Americans can lose this from the CVP cap if not careful. I removed the .50cal HMG from the jeep and used both my .50cal's as Light AA vs. the German (Italian?) dive bombers. I shot one down; the other blew up one of my Shermans. A nice heat shot, a burning kill by his ATR, and a nicely-played tank kill by an Italian squad (!!) in CC and I was 6 CVP from a loss. On Turn 6, Tom's last gun got a KIA (random selection choosing both of my units...), Intensive Fire shot, vs. a squad and my 8-1 leader, leaving only two more CVP (one for me to hang onto the win). In my advancing fire, I was able to break his crew and that gave me the win. Italians have to keep their Personal Morale vs. the American firepower, but can make it work. Fun scenario vs. Tom.
2024-02-09(D) M T vs V.K. Italian win
2022-12-01(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Italian winUsed American balance. The Guns were very lucky make every Hit & resulting in devastation for the attackers. CVP cap reached end of Turn 3.
2022-11-22(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval Italian win
2022-07-10(D) Shane Pask vs Italian winI kept most of my force on the second hill with the MGs covering the road. American overconfidence and deadly bombers reached the CVP cap by turn 4. I think the bombers accounted for 19 VP by themselves including a T30 and M4 destroyed by MG (CH on M4). Yanks lost another tank to my only HEAT round. Finished with 3 guns remaining and over 20FP (counting PBF) covering the road.
