Overview:
During the initial invasion of Sicily, many American parachute units were given the task of blocking German movement towards the landing beaches. One such, the 3rd Battalion of the 504th Parachute Regiment, landed two miles northwest of Biscari. After gathering as many of the scattered troopers as possible, the understrength battalion moved out towards the town of Niscemi. As they approached the Niscemi-Biscari highway, they encountered and captured two Italian anti-tank guns. With the newly acquired guns to bolster their defenses, the paratroopers dug in on positions covering the main highway. Not long after the Americans had finished laying mines, a German column approached, composed of mixed units of the Hermann Goring Division. Caught by surprise initially, the Germans soon recovered and pressed the attack. . .Attacker: German (Aufklärungs-Abteilung, Panzer Division "Hermann Göring")
Defender: American (3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)

2022-11-18 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Herbert | American win (VASL Log) | Another great game with Herbert. American defense plan was to give up the VC building closest to the German entry areas and concentrate forces over other VC buildings. Americans also fired up some woods to make it harder for Germans to outflank the position. Mines covered the German advance through the grainfield and HIP HS with bazooka had to sacrifice itself to catch the Puma off guard. Dummies near the farest building had to win as much time as possible just with their presence, as the Germans doesn't have too much squads to risk them in the open that early. Luckily the every piece of the plan worked, so the game was very eventful like a war movie. Italian guns were malfunctioned almost instantly, so their crews had to push themself into the frontlines. One Crew even banished one German squad in the dangerous close to VC building and then killed in CC the German hero that appeared in the Heat of Battle. Thank you for the game, Herbert! It was great as always. |
