Overview:

British planners desired to keep German units in the Ortona region “occupied” so they would be unavailable to reinforce the Cassino area. V Corps Maj. Gen. Allfrey decided to carry out this mission with green troops who would be provided with combat experience by attacking the fortified German lines. Against the wishes of its commander, the 11th Canadian Infantry Brigade was selected for the task of assaulting a ridge line beyond the dry Riccio River. They would be supported by armor from the veteran Three Rivers Tanks.
Attacker: Canadian (A Company, The Perth Regiment, 11th Canadian Infantry Brigade & A Squadron, 12th Canadian Armoured (Three Rivers) Regiment)

2024-06-14(A) Daniel Soukup vs Canadian winThis is a good scenario, but the German defense was too far forward and revealed itself too readily to put up a significant front. I liked the idea of the random residual FP placement to represent arcing fire, but I made no impact at all on our game.
2022-03-17(A) Rob MacGinley vs James Short German winI tried to move down the board edge with the Canadians and have the tanks harass the other edge
poor judgment - tanks were cooked and the men were trapped - hands up was my only solution
2021-05-29(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Canadian win
2021-05-29(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Canadian winFirst mortar shot was a critical hit and managed to unhinge the initial German trench line. Canadian infantry swarmed the south edge and would ultimately exit 16 VP. The Tanks would come in at Q1 and go up the dry stream only to run right into the 50L. One Sherman was knocked out, but the the gun MALF'd and the other 3 moved around and up over the hill. Fast moving German squads repositioned to take panzerfaust shots. They would succeed in destroying two more Shermans, but the final Sherman managed to exit for the win.
