Overview:
Moving the 34th and the 45th Infantry Divisions across the upper Volturno River was designed to help 3rd Infantry Division take the Mignano Gap and clear the way for an advance to Cassino and beyond. While the 3rd Division fought in the immediate vicinity of Mignano, the 34th was to cross the river and attack around Colli. The 45th Division was to push up Highway 85 for about eight miles to Venafro, then turn west to seize Monte Sammucro, blocking Highway 6 north of Mignano. The 45th sent the 3rd Battalion, 179th Infantry Regiment across the Volturno on November 4th. Advancing toward Venafro through a series of grain fields and vineyards, they made progress against light opposition. In the morning, the battalion was near Venafro, but there, machine gun fire halted the troops. Company K fought its way through the town, seeking to take a small hill to the north.Attacker: American (K Company, 3rd Battalion, 179th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6)

| 2025-03-25 | (D) Rob Schmitt | vs | Mitch Davis | German win | 3 hrs | I was German defender vs American attacker. This is definitely tough on the Americans. I was able to slow him down for a significant amount of game time. He was never able to get close to the final victory hex where I had a Squad with MG waiting. Great Germain morale and stone buildings vs weak American morale is a factor. | |
