Overview:

The big push to break out of the Anzio beachhead was on, and Darby’s Rangers were to lead the way for the Americans. At 0100, the 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions, with the 4th following, infiltrated the mobile defensive positions of the Hermann Goering Division near Cisterna. Behind them, the Allied big guns opened fire, heralding the offensive. Charging forward without heavy equipment, the Rangers swept through a German camp, killing all. The town was only a few hundred yards ahead, but the Rangers were in open fields with dawn just breaking. And the Germans were now awake. Reacting quickly, flak wagons, SP guns and armor from the 26th Panzer were rushed forward. The Ranger fought on, hoping for reinforcements that could not arrive. Only six out of 767 officers and men made it out alive.

2013-02-27(D) Richard Agnew vs solo German winThis one wasn't even close. Not surprisingly, the German forces completely routed the US in this one. The German armour broke the American lines, taking position behind the Americans, while the infantry suppressed the GI's. To their credit, the Americans did manage to knock out the two unarmoured Half-tracks, one Stug and one of the Tigers with bazooka attacks. Only two US squads and a leader made it off the south edge of the board to safety.
