Overview:
The Americans on the left flank of the Sicily landings, codenamed Joss, were scheduled to land early in the morning near Licata. The Italian units manning the defenses, generally static Coastal Divisions, fully dominated the beach exits with machine guns and ample firepower. The 7th Infantry Regiment motored towards the maelstrom in the LCIs with the 1st Battalion designated as the assault wave. Unfortunately, the 2nd Battalion, designated to immediately move inland, passed the assault wave and became the first unit to land at Red Beach. Despite mounting casualties and the fact that the beach was not cleared yet, the 2nd Battalion proceeded with their mission. One company veered off to the right and established a roadblock at Station San Olivia a few miles inland. As this point the Italian High Command began to piece together the nature of the landings if not how well they had progressed and ordered local units to counterattack.Attacker: Italian (538th Batt., 207th Coastal Defense Division)
Defender: American (2nd Batt., 7th Inf. Regiment, 3rd Inf. Division)

2022-08-06 | (A) Vilis Pavulans | vs | Stephen Mackintosh | Italian win | A light American defense in the north east composed of 9-1 leader, squad and MMG made that the best approach. The western woods were too heavily defended. Used two Italian squads as a distraction from the west but stormed en masse in the north east. Lost 4 squads but managed to bypass the American who also malfed the MMG. Pressed on quickly and the Americans couldn´t retreat fat enough to actually defend the victory location which meant a sudden death win by turn 2. Probably a more tense scenario if the Americans would have had a more spread out and deep defense. | |
2022-07-10 | (D) Jim Liang | vs | Steve Gibson | Italian win | ||
2022-07-10 | (D) Jack Wilson | vs | David Wolff | American win | Hunman Wave 2022 round 3. This is a very small scenario featuring 13 Italian MMCs.,, who by SSR are all considered inexperienced, vs. 6 American first line squads with one MMG. This scenario has a lot of interesting facets. First, the Italians are on the attack v. the Americans. Practically the whole battlefield is one huge grain field which means hindrances to shots are common. And then there is the fact that the Italian conscript squads have the same unbroken ML as the American first line squads. This not the forum to delve into my opinions on the ahistorical nature of the American ML. Suffice it to say, it makes for interesting play. Lastly, the Italians can win by simply bringing 12 FP to bear on a SSR defined railroad embankment. (Barring a mental lapse on the part of the American player, the VC building is not really in play). David advanced aggressively and gave me a number of FFNAM shots. Unfortunately for me, he was passing almost every MC. He had a force threatening both my flanks and so I had to scamper back and forth putting out fires. At one point he pinned one of my 6-6-6s (in a stone building no less) with one of his 3-4-6s, then advanced into CC. He won the Ambush roll, and then went on to eliminate my squad!. But eventually, I began to wear him down. Still, on the last turn he had nearly 20 FP factors in position. With two more of my squads tied up in melee, I had very little left to withstand his final rush for the railroad. But the dice were very kind and I managed to break and pin enough of his squads so that on the final count, he was only able to bring 11 of the needed 12 factors to bear. About as closely played as one can imagine. If a couple of DRs had gone in David's favor, and I would have lost. Note to American player: don't let the Italians to set up in the one hex woods in front of the stone building on the American right. That hex is four hexes aways from the RR, and thus 3 squads and a MMG would qualify to meet the VCs. Also, I did not try to DM broken squads as much as I could have. I trusted in them failing their rally DR. However, David kept rolling low and they would CX right back into the battle. | |
2022-04-20 | (D) davide galloni | vs | Marco Bria | American win | ||
2021-11-10 | (D) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Draw | Italian win. Solo. Fun swirling game. More depth in this scenario than I originally gave it credit. | ||
2021-07-04 | (A) Kamil Dziarmaga | vs | American | American win | ||
2021-06-03 | (D) JP Laurio | vs | American win | |||
2021-05-31 | (A) Jonathan Plott | vs | Arshish Kapadia | American win | The Italians attacked in strength on both the northeast and southwest sides of the map. Came down to the very last Italian Advance phase, but the home defense boys could only manage 9 FP on the railroad and 12 FP was required do deny the American invaders a victory. Highlights included a very bloody melee where one Italian and 2 American squads met their demise...all destroyed when a Yank kill stack (20 FP/9-1 ldr) fired into the cauldron. For those keeping score at home, 2 Italian and 2 American squads were KIA during the entire game, and ALL of them were eliminated by copious amounts of .30-06 slugs delivered by Garands and Brownings. Pretty sure the 9-1 leader directing the Yank kill stack was a Soviet Commissar in disguise. Brutal. | |
2021-05-25 | (D) Igor Stolyarenko | vs | Gleb Paskevich | Italian win (VASL Log) | Phase route rules are unforgiving. | |
2021-05-25 | (A) Gleb Paskevich | vs | Igor Stolyarenko | Italian win | Wonderful scenario! Italians lost more than half of their forces on Turn 1 with an entire northern group defeated, but then managed to get to the railroad and use their MMG to break down any American counterattacks! | |
2021-05-18 | (D) Alexey Kolleganov | vs | Anton Sulin | Italian win (VASL Log) | Amazing | |
2021-05-14 | (A) Igor Stolyarenko | vs | Artem Korolev | Italian win (VASL Log) | Sly Italians broke through on the wheat field from the west! They did not spare their own people and shot everyone who participated in hand-to-hand combat, both their own and others. Such cruelty and cunning allowed them to win... | |
2021-05-12 | (A) Jim Liang | vs | Steve Boro | American win | Played as Italians. Close game. Made it to edge of woods near railroad embankment, but failed to break counter attacking Americans. My Italians then withered during American Turn 4 Prep Fire Phase and were unable to recover before game end due to continued American pressure. Log file of game is under User Files tab. | |
2021-05-07 | (D) Igor Stolyarenko | vs | Artem Korolev | American win | It was a bloody battle with two hand-to-hand fights. | |
2021-05-04 | (D) Artem Korolev | vs | Evgeny Pavlenko | American win | The Italian breakthrough was quickly stopped and the initiative passed to the Americans for the rest of the game. | |
2020-12-02 | (A) César Moreno | vs | juno29 | Italian win | My Italian squads were all in for objetive building. My opponent was too scared to waste First Fire opportunities, and when he decided to open fire, it wasn't a great shot. I overrun the forces near the east border easily. When more american squad rushed to help, some very lucky pot-shots took care of them. By turn 4, there were no good order american units on the map, Italian troops had seized the american MMG, and some italian men walked casually into HH7. | |

2020-06-13 | (A) David Wiesenhahn | vs | Italian win | |||

2020-03-30 | (D) Nate Gregg | vs | Chris Gregg | American win | ||
2020-03-15 | (A) Nate Gregg | vs | Chris Gregg | American win | ||
2019-06-20 | (D) M T | vs | American win | My opponent tried an all out rush against prepared American positions which ended very badly - provided I did also have some phenomenal IFT rolls. In the end there were no casualties for the Americans, not even a single failed NMC during the game, while the Italians lost their whole force. A learning experience for sure and also a quick game. | ||
2017-12-27 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | Italian win | The Italians rushed towards the woods from the south west side. Precise American shots stopped the Italian movements. Numerous firegroups routed the Americans but they were quick to recover. The Italians reached the embankment railroad under the cover of woods and suffered some casualties. The Americans entered melee but did not achieve to pull back the Italians and on the contrary they had to retreat. With 66 FP on the embankment railroad, the Ialians achieved a major victory. | ||
2016-04-20 | (D) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Matt Russman | Italian win | I scattered most of the Italians early, but needed to push him out of the building near the VC embankment. Got aggressive, gave an opening... and lost the VC building! | |
2016-04-17 | (A) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Matt Russman | Italian win | Quick game. I rushed into melee with the MG and was given too much space to grab the VC building early. | |
2015-11-20 | (D) Colin Emerson | vs | Michael Dorosh | American win | ||
2015-11-20 | (A) Michael Dorosh | vs | Colin Emerson | American win | ||
2013-08-24 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Anna Aleksanyan | American win | Very tense scenario. But you know... those italians will never get up when broken once... | |
2013-05-17 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Solo | Draw | I spread out the Italians and went for EE7, but the two squads in the zone were able to break 8 Italian squads for only one American squad broken. With this ratio and morale 5 for recovery it was then impossible for the Italians to get to the railroad and I quit on Turn 3. I think I should have advanced more slowly towards EE4 and use the grain field and try to win with the firepower on the railroad. | |
2013-01-24 | (A) Russell Dewhurst | vs | David | American win | My attack was spread out and uninspired, but the VCs meant I was in with a chance till the very end-- but it didn't come off. | |
2011-10-17 | (A) Miikka Sohlman | vs | Olli-Pekka Huovila | Italian win | ||
2010-12-22 | (A) Jonathan Davis | vs | Jason Henry | American win | ||
2010-02-20 | (A) Pablo Barreiro | vs | Alex | American win | ||
2008-09-16 | (D) Allen Evenson | vs | Trevor Bender | Italian win | Great back and forth game. |
