The U.S. 88th Infantry Division was to take Mount Bracchi in the opening of the offensive to take Rome. The 351st Infantry Regiment was to take the small town of Santa Maria Infante. But to reach it they had to attack over difficult terrain – in the dark. Small knolls known jocularly to the Americans as the Right and Left Tit jutted out on either side of the road to Infante. At 2300 hours, without artillery preparation, Company F stepped off in the darkness for the Left Tit. . .

Despite a good start, my americans could not make it to the upper hills, got stuck in the wires and the mine fields, before the germans in their foxholes opened their deadly fires! Lesson learned : don't use the starshells and IR too early in the game and watch out for the staying rules !

A good scenario for those tricky night rules. Remember to always +1 for attacks during night, no matter the visibility. Kept screwing that up.

A great intro to the night rules. My Germans didn't hold up against the masses of 6FP attacks, but I didn't play the starshells correctly and it was more of a learning scenario.
