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)

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.
2014-07-03(A) Martí Cabré vs Solo DrawThe first American units were received with a well placed ambush, MGs and mines which killed a lot of them. But the flank reinforcements did a good job, though losing a tank to AT fire, pushing hard and occupying enough buildings for the win. The American firepower finally was enough to dislodge the Germans. Two German squads retreated for a final score of 24-4, a tight American win.
