Overview:

Two American Ranger Battalions were to infiltrate through enemy lines along the narrow Pantano ditch in an effort to reach Cisterna, where careful reconnaissance had determined that the enemy had not had time to consolidate their defenses. Behind these Rangers, a third Ranger battalion and a battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division would assault the main line. The American assault disrupted the German timetable of their own planned major offensive but the Germans had powerful units in place when the Ranger infiltration was spotted.
Attacker: American (4th Ranger Battalion / 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division / 751st Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (Hermann Göring Division)

2022-03-11(A) Larry Davidson vs Brian Devitt German winUSED THE AMERICAN BALANCE. The Germans still won convincingly.
2022-02-18(D) Larry Davidson vs Brian Devitt German winUSED THE AMERICAN BALANCE. It was a VERY close game.
2022-01-02(D) Craig Renier vs Gabe (Socks) German winThe Americans advanced in force through the ditch, but took heavy losses as soon as they ventured out of the ditch. The southern attack fared little better, running smack into the German mine field. Had the Americans used smoke and coordinated the attacks, the outcome would not have been so decisive.
2020-11-13(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites German winAmericans couldn't make any progress in the open and were DM'd early and often. Easy German win.
2018-03-17(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe American assault initially suffered from minefields hidden in orchards or buildings and also from precise German shots. With reinforcements, the American advanced despite the loss of their armor support and captured several buildings. Three buildings were still in German hands at the end of the game after successful melees. Eventually, the Americans captured 6 buildings for 12 VP and eliminated 4.5 squads for 9 VP. However, one German squad escaped (-2VP). Thus, with only 19 VP, the Americans had to concede victory to the Germans.
