Overview:

The Germans opened Operation Fish Catch at 0600 hours with a general barrage by virtually every German gun at Anzio. The Assault departed 30 minutes later, with diversionary attacks launched on the US 3rd Division's right flank. The US 504th Parachute Infantry was attacked by a strong German force that worked its way down the Cisterna Creek in the opposite direction to the unfortunate Rangers, and a second German force was attacking across the Mussolini Canal. At the same time, the First Special Service Force, supported by Company C of 894th Tank Destroyer Battalion were dug in with orders "To hold at all cost!" when it was attacked at the bridges near where the Canal split into its northern and western arms.

2023-05-30(D) David Garvin vs Zebulon Tingley American winI was getting spanked. That said, his forces were too slow in bringing up the bridging.
2018-03-05(D) Tom Kearney vs Lindsey Murillo American winThe German player miscalculated on how many turns it would take to move the bridges to the canal. As a result the troops with the bridges entered as the last group of reinforcements and didn't have time to build the bridges and cross the canal. They also had to manhandle the bridges through a yet undiscovered minefield.
