Overview:
The Rangers had taken Gela from the surprisingly resistant Italian Coastal troops. After assessing the situation, Col. Darby organized the remaining Rangers to defend the town from counterattack. And in fact the Italian high command had ordered a counterattack to begin at 6 A.M. It was to be a combined German-Italian attack with multiple columns converging on the city from two directions.Attacker: Italian (1st Battalion, 33rd Infantry Regiment, Livorno Division, and Gruppo Mobile E)
Defender: American (Force X, 1st and 4th Ranger Battalions)

2021-12-21 | (D) Alexey Kolleganov | vs | Dmitriy Alexandrov | Italian win (VASL Log) | A very strange scenario. | |
2021-12-14 | (A) Igor Luckyanov | vs | Fyodor Grachyov | Italian win (VASL Log) | I lost my bid to play Americans, and faced Americans too busy with Prep Fire - wrong way to Victory. | |

2020-03-28 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Grachev | Italian win | Awful unbalanced non-sense scenario. Not interesting to play at all for both sides. | |
2019-04-02 | (D) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Italian win | |||
2018-07-13 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Scott Waites | Italian win | This was our second time playing this scenario. Back in 2011 I lost at the Italians. This time, I managed to win courtesy of my opponent's dice. He took out 6 of my tanks by Turn 4, but his 10-3 kill stack never rolled better than a 10. So my boys were hanging in there. Then on a +1 morale check his 10-3 rolled boxcars and then a 6. Game over. my opponent had rolled so many 12's and 11's that he had just had enough and conceded. I could hardly blame him. Getting diced by your own dice is a miserable part of the ASL experience. | |
2018-05-06 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | Italian win | The MR35 tanks did the job. They first resisted bazooka and AT gun fire (only 2 tanks were destroyed) and then managed to broke the manning bazooka infantry and destroyed the AT gun with a critical hit. The Italian tanks then position themselves to prevent the broken American units to rout. Darby and some rangers attacked a tank in close combat but was killed in the process (snake eyes in CC). An easy victory for the Italians. | ||
2018-02-03 | (A) Tripp Killin | vs | Sebastian Killin | Italian win | With extra troops left over from Not So Disposed, the Italians looked pretty tough through the first 3 turns. The Americans can handle any of the Italian infantry, but the 8 tanks makes moving forward very difficult. But the American 10-3 started going crazy on Turn 4, and the Italians began to crumble. Add in 6 boxcars on Italian rally attempts and the Axis forces started becoming sparse. But there just wasn't enough time to get to those last buildings near the Italian entry area. If Americans can win the first scenario (S47), this one would be very, very different. | |
2017-01-29 | (D) Doba Serge | vs | Italian win | |||
2014-11-24 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Ted Kim | Italian win | Ted pressed hard against the Italians. I used the tanks to hinder his advance but he slowly took them off with the AT gun, the bazookas and CC. The Italian fire could only break American units in the open and they are so brittle than almost all fire ended with broken units everywhere. At the end, Ted broke all the Italian units except a couple of pinned squads in the edge of the map, surrounded by a huge American force, not enough for the American win. | |
2014-11-15 | (A) Pablo Barreiro | vs | Italian win | |||
2013-08-24 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Anna Aleksanyan | Italian win | With such a lot interfering tanks, it's very hard for americans to advance. | |
2013-04-20 | (A) Jonathan Davis | vs | Voss Graham | Italian win | Hard for the Americans to win when the Italian tanks keep rolling 2s, 3s, and 4s, even with 4 of them being knocked out early. | |
2012-01-28 | (D) Stefan C | vs | osterhausm | Italian win | Carried over slightly better troops than the setup from S47, but also had a pocket of Italian resistance to cleanup on turn 1. Began losing too many forces to the tanks. turns out 4 FP is plenty good if you roll 2s and 3s. Odd victory conditions, but I could see it being easier if you're not distracted with a pocket on the other side of the board from where the Italians enter. If playing as a campaign, americans should value clearing the east side of the map over the west in the previous scenario. | |
2011-08-25 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Scott Waites | American win | After 3 turns, 4 Italian tanks have fallen to the US 37LL...note to self...avoid the AT Gun...did manage to eliminate one 6-6-7 that went after a tank. We'll see what happens next week. |
