Overview:
During Operation Diadem, the 1st “Free French” Division was given the task to shield the right flank of the French Mountain Corps which was to lead the main attack into the difficult Aurunci Mountains. On 17th May, the French were progressing quickly along the Liri River valley thanks to the retreat of the German troops after the breakthrough around Monte Petrella. Around noon, the leading elements of the BM11 (March Battalion 11), abandoned by the accompanying tanks that were stopped sooner by mines, were stopped by MG fire coming from fortified houses on both sides of the road.Attacker: Free French (Elements of Bataillon de Marche n° 11, 1st DFL)
Defender: German (Elements 71 Infanterie-Division)

| 2021-02-17 | (D) Tim Wiegmann | vs | Mike Grogan | German win (VASL Log) | An excellent and very enjoyable scenario that seems to offer a lot of different strategies for both sides. My strategy as the Germans centered around building P8. Taking control of this building in turn 2 and then holding on to both it and my three starting buildings until the end would bring me exactly to the 19 VP required to win the scenario. I therefore committed almost all of my reinforcements to a large-scale attack on P8, which I managed to take on schedule despite suffering heavy casualties. This turned the setup of the scenario around, as it would now be the French who had to take away one of my buildings to achieve a win. With the ball in their court, the French went for an assault against my fortified building in J3. Although I managed to hold it until the end and therefore eek out a win, in hindsight, I assigned too many forces to the attack on P8 from the West and too few to the North to reinforce the defense of my starting buildings. My defenders in J3 were hopelessly outnumbered, and with a bit less fortune on DC attacks or sniper target selection, the building could have easily fallen on turn 5. |

| 2020-08-02 | (D) Rick Galli | vs | Mark Watson | German win | |
| 2020-04-14 | (A) Gordon Jupp | vs | Morris Legge | Free French win | The Germans got bogged down as they entered and made little progress towards the 2VP buildings -called it on T4 when it was impossible to reach the required VP. Good scenario tho ;) |
