Overview:

During the initial invasion of Sicily, many American parachute units were given the task of blocking German movement towards the landing beaches. One such, the 3rd Battalion of the 504th Parachute Regiment, landed two miles northwest of Biscari. After gathering as many of the scattered troopers as possible, the understrength battalion moved out towards the town of Niscemi. As they approached the Niscemi-Biscari highway, they encountered and captured two Italian anti-tank guns. With the newly acquired guns to bolster their defenses, the paratroopers dug in on positions covering the main highway. Not long after the Americans had finished laying mines, a German column approached, composed of mixed units of the Hermann Goring Division. Caught by surprise initially, the Germans soon recovered and pressed the attack. . .

2016-08-29(A) Jeff B vs Scott Sherer American win3.25 hrsParatroopers' forward defense paid big dividends. Excellent mine placement limited the approach to the forward building and the Germans were slowly whittled away in what felt like a city fight. An active American sniper eliminated one leader and wounded another. The two captured guns did some damage and then quickly became piles of scrap metal. After a lengthy CC, which tied up a chunk of German forces for multiple turns, an American half squad died with valor by wiping out 2.5 German squads and a leader, preventing the Germans from even capturing one of the three buildings.
