Overview:
FULL SCENARIO PROVIDED HERE BY OSDG.....General Clark ordered the 82nd Airborne Division, acting as the landing force reserve for the Salerno beachhead, to proceed towards Naples as rapidly as possible. The German 1st Fallschirmjäger Division was continuing to fall back from the Calabria area, now in conjunction with the 16th Panzer Grenadier Division and the rear elements of the Hermann Göring Panzer and 116th Panzer Divisions. Due to the early rains, only a single road lay capable for massed vehicle traffic towards Naples. In a maneuver that would become "deja vu" only one short year later, the 82nd Airborne tried to open a corridor for the Desert Rats of the British 7th Armoured Division to pour through. The Allies were going to take Naples, hell or high water.Attacker: Allied (US 325th Glider Infantry Regiment, 1st, 2nd, and Weapons Battalions and 1st Ranger Battalion / British 2/6 Bn Queens Royal Regiment Territorials and “A” Troop, 1st Battalion, 11th Hussars and “C” Troop, 7th Queen's Hussars)
Defender: Axis (1st Fallschirmjäger Division and 16th Panzer Grenadier Division and rear elements of the Hermann Göring Panzer and 116th Panzer Divisions)
