Overview:

Operation Husky got off to a terrible start as gale-force winds greeted the poorly-trained pilots flying in the paratroopers and glidermen of the British 1st Airborne Division and the American 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Instead of dropping behind the Allied beaches and seizing key bridges and strongpoints, they were scattered all over the southern half of the island. One such group landed near the coastal town of Avola. This ad hoc group of 75 paratroopers, armed only with light weaponry, chose to attack Avola to assist the British whose seaborne invasion was starting to land.
Attacker: British/American (505th PIR / British 50th Infantry Division)

2022-02-17(D) Craig Renier vs Jim Liang Italian winThe American paratroopers advanced on the Italian left flank, but the Italians took an aggressive tact advancing forward to the American approach. The Americans continued cautiously using valuable time to push the defenders back. Pleased with their performance, the Italians delayed shifting forces in anticipation of the expected British reinforcements. Realizing their mistake too late, the Italians rushed to the rear, but could not get far enough to impede the initial entry. The British ran down the road to gain as much ground as possible. The Allied forces were massed on the west side of the board and the Italians mistakenly positioned themselves to block the overwhelming force rather than use battle space and withdraw to the east. Recognizing the mistake too late, the Italians were caught between the vice grips. The Allied superior firepower finally began to take effect, breaking MMCs, while the superior numbers eliminated rout paths. On the final turn, during the Allied DFPh, the British and Americans attacked with two 16 +3 shots, an 8 +1 shot, an 8 +3 shot, and even a 20 +3 shot against the Italian 6 morale. The game should have been an Allied victory, but all the Allied rolls were high while the Italians responded with low rolls the few times a MC was required.
