Overview:

By the end of December, the main Gustav Line had been penetrated and Allied troops were fighting their way forward to the Moro River, 4 miles (6.4km) to the north of which lay Ortona. The city was of strategic importance because it was one of the few usable deep-water ports on the east coast and was thus needed in order to shorten the Eighth Army's line of supply. Hitler ordered the city to be defended to the last man. The Battle of Ortona would be fought between two battalions of elite Fallschirmjäger (paratroops) and the assaulting Canadians of the 1st Infantry Division, most of whom were fresh recruits whose baptism of fire had occurred during the recent invasion of Sicily.
Attacker: Canadian (Loyal Edmonton Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade's Three Rivers Regiment)
Defender: German (1. Fallschirmjäger-Division)

2023-06-23(D) David Ramsey vs Toby Pilling Canadian winI'd usually give Toby the unfavoured side (which I think in this one is the Germans) but I messed up with the scenario selection so "tricked" Toby into this one when he wasn't prepared (which didn't compete with my playing of this particular scenario). Used the tunnels but was almost eliminated before I had a chance to use them. The scenario is generous on time and troops for the attacker, and gives the Germans plenty of options in defence and VC buildings but holding out is tricky.
2023-06-21(D) David Ramsey vs Indy Lagu Canadian winIndy, the Canadian playing the Canadians, played a solid game but I was definitely not canny enough with upper level overwatches and a lack of tunnels. I swapped the AP mines for AT which I regretted, and didn't buy the booby-trap enhancement which was the correct decision, but I didn't put up a strong fight.
