Overview:

Following the successful campaigns in North Africa and Sicily, the Allied commanders turned their attention to the Italian mainland. As Allied forces march up from the toe of Italy, several British and American divisions landed in and around Salerno as part of Operation Avalanche. The ebb and flow of this campaign was highlighted in a series of small encounters at Montecorvino Airport, 5 miles south-east of Salerno on landing day. The first encounter occurred early on 9 September, 1943.The airport was a few miles inland from the landing beaches of the British 56th Division. The 2/6th Queen's battalion under Lt. Col. Keighley from the 169th Brigade was assigned the task of securing the airfield. Facing them were the men from the 2nd Battalion, 10th Panzer Grenadier Regiments. Unfortunately, the Shermans from 'C' Squadron Royal Scots Greys assigned to support the Queen's were delayed at the beaches, forcing the men from the Queen's to attack across open terrain.
Attacker: British (2nd/6th Queen's Royal Regiment, 169th Brigade)

2024-12-03(D) M T vs V.K. German winGerman defense held throughout the game, even though I forgot to HIP my AA Guns and lost one of them to a mortar CH shot.

A nice quick playing scenario with some variety introduced by the random aircraft wreck placement.
2023-06-18(D) Miikka Sohlman vs Yasuo Nakae German win
2022-01-15(D) Scott Sherer vs Skip Dyckman German winPretty dominant German win...dice heavily favored the Germans and the Brits did not get close to capturing the VC building. Quick-playing scenario good for a short FtF session. Played at January CAASL meeting.
2021-12-07(A) Grant Linneberg vs Asad RustumA British win
2021-12-05(D) Asad Rustum vs Grant Linneberg British winThe British were given the balance and it came down to the final CC (3:1 to the British) in which the British came out on top.
2021-10-11(A) Jeff Wright vs Scott Romanowski British win
2020-09-22(A) manzoli andrea vs Davide Galloni British winsmoke in German eyes in the first turn helped British advanced in the wood in front of the target buildings
2020-05-16(D) manzoli andrea vs Andrea Noia German winBrits come near the runaway ..but were stopped by hidden Flak Fire..ending in CC at last turn..well played
2020-05-13(A) Andrea Noia vs Andrea Manzoli German winGood Setup of both Flak by the German. My wing flank was not able to disable one of the flaks and flank the Germans, so it was much more difficult to get push forward without getting hit hard by the waiting squads in the buildings.
Still, I was able to get to the last (despite desperate) CC.
2019-11-14(D) Oliver Ahrendt vs British German win
2019-09-29(D) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German win
2018-12-11(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Dario Bagnoli Draw
2018-06-29(D) Paul Works vs Doyle Motes British winThis is the second time I have played this scenario. I must be doing something wrong, as I lost both as the Germans (...). In this one, Doyle came around my right flank and through the woods. I simply could not break his squads as they moved across the open. As a result, they got on the back side of the VC building and broke all my troops.
2017-07-22(A) youhei nakano vs german German win
2016-08-05(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites German winMy Germans were lucky from the start. German mortar got a critical on British kill stack KIA'ing 1-1/2 x 4-5-7's. Then the German sniper KIA'd the 8-0 and broke two 4-5-7's with him when my opponent rolled triple 3's. First time I have seen a sniper nail an entire stack. Opponent conceded at that point.
2016-06-13(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winUsed British balance.
2016-06-13(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval German win
2016-05-22(A) Michael Dorosh vs Colin Emerson German winPlayed this with OA20 and OA21 as a mini-CG, carrying over forces to the next, with a Clean-Up phase modified from Singling in between scens and some modifications to set up etc. This one was the first scenario, British don't seem to have a lot of time and failed to even get close to the objective hex.
2016-05-22(D) Colin Emerson vs Michael Dorosh German win3 scenario linked mini CG(OA19, OA20,OA21)
Played this one as designed.
Tough on British, attack has to be quick and concentrated. No probing attacks just smash your way through.
2016-01-02(A) Jim Kloss vs Bob Eury British winThe small attacking force requires a Schwerpunkt type assault, not enough resources for feints or flanking. Recommend deploying a squad to serve as half squad crews for the 2" mortars.
2016-01-01(A) JP Laurio vs Alan German win
2015-04-12(D) David Garvin vs Ted Wilcox German win
2014-12-06(D) Jeff B vs Chad Cooper German win2 hrsA fun little nugget to start and finish in one sitting. The Germans have the defensive advantage but the Brits have more muscle. This one seems like it can be very dicey. As it was, neither of us shot well enough to test that theory.
2014-04-06(D) Juhani Bonsdorff vs German winBritish lost time by slow maneuver. Germans won with careful withdrawal and avoidance of unnecessary contact.
2013-10-01(A) Juan Garrido vs Solo German win
2012-06-22(A) Paul Messina vs Pete Shelling German win
2012-03-30(D) St La vs E. Batisse British win
2011-12-10(D) Nick Irving vs Brett Griffiths British winI don't think the Germans have enough stuff to mount a proper defence. Got defeated in detail; too much stuff on the wings.
2011-06-18(A) Tuomo Lukkari vs Sauli Jyväsjärvi British win[Imported from ROAR]
2011-03-28(A) Will Waller vs Eoin Corrigan German winMassive Melee for building control in final turn, Germans just held on
2011-02-27(D) Richard Jenulis vs Bryant Henley German winNWASL Championship 2011
2010-10-30(D) Peter Palmer vs Aaron Cleavin German win[Imported from ROAR]
2010-09-18(D) Andy Beaton vs German winFun training session vs. a new guy who came very close to beating me
2010-09-11(D) Keith Colins vs Dave Childs German win
2010-09-08(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs British win
2010-08-21(D) Jeff Waldon vs Frank Tozier German winFtF-CAWS
2010-08-13(A) Jeff T vs JVan British winCrucial ambush by British led to leader creation (in CC) in victory building. Good, fun little scenario.
2010-08-13(D) John Van Natta vs Jeff T. British win
