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)

2022-09-25(D) Cliff Schmidt vs Italian winGame played via VASL PBEM over a couple months. As reported, very hard for the US/British to track down all of the different pockets of Italians, who when finally caught, got the +3 stone building bonus. Americans probed the Italian left flank early and met stiff resistance and couldn't get any concentrated fire into the town. The 9-2 for the Americans couldn't stay in the fight. The Brits fared much better but couldn't get far enough in the time they had to turn the tide. I let an American half squad get behind me which nearly spelled disaster, especially when the Allies started making desperate dashes across open ground near the end and survived! Ultimately, too little, too late, but it was a fun scenario with some tense moments.

2022-06-05(A) Shane Pask vs Italian winI was totally diced until turn 5 when things flipped completely. For the first 5 turns Italians would not break. Americans lost their 9-1 to a 1 down 2 residual and the 9-2 to a shot from the pinned HMG HS (both mortal wounds). When the Italian 8-1 finally did break (and ELRed) he immediately rallied and battle hardened back to 8-1. The HMG HS with him did not break. Then on turn 5 the HMG finally malfed, the MMG HS and leader broke, the Yanks FINALLY won a melee that had gone on for 2 full turns. On turn 6, I broke 6 Italian squads but the 8-1 and HMG HS (without the HMG) ambushed a yank HS and 8-0 in CC and killed them. They then skulked for the win. The Italians only had one other unbroken squad. A lot closer than the stats suggest.
