Overview:

During the pre-dawn hours the U.S. 7th Army successfully landed at both Licata and Gela. Unaware of each others plans, the Italians and Germans began a series of uncoordinated attacks against the Americans with the intention of breaking through to the beachhead. In the Gela area, the Italians were attacking with a mobile armored force while on the eastern edge of the invasion came two columns of the Hermann Goring FallschirmPanzer Division. One of these columns was busy engaging the Americans at Piano Lugo, the other attacked the inexperienced 45th “Thunderbird” Division at Biscari Station. With their Tiger tanks unable to keep pace in the dense olive groves of the region, the German infantry would have to overwhelm the Americans without armor support.
Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier Regiment 1, Hermann Göring FallschirmPanzer Division)
Defender: American (1st Batt., 180th Regiment, 45th Division and scattered elements of the 82nd Airborne)

2025-06-01(A) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC American winBalanced setup (top, center and bottom of the map). Heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, a CC result gives the Americans the 11 CVP needed to frustrate the German victory. The American light mortar was positioned on the bottom hill, guarding over the open ground field, causing Germans to be reticent to sprint.
2025-05-10(D) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC German winAmerican setup towards the upper part of the board, inviting the Germans to set up a running platoon on the lower side protected by a central fighting group. This group is stalled via CC, putting the running platoon at risk, but the Americans cannot run faster, and the victory is conceded at the start of German turn 3. The Americans had amassed 9 out the 11 necessary CVPs to frustrate the German victory.
