Overview:

After the conquest of Sicily and the ouster of Mussolini, the Allies invaded Italy proper at Salerno to begin their long slog up "the boot". Needing to expand the beachhead and deny the Germans good artillery observation points, the Americans secured the unoccupied village of Altavilla and the surrounding heights against little opposition. The ease of this accomplishment, however, seemed to signal that the Germans were focused instead on the British sector, and General Mark Clark was worried enough that he reinforced the British, leaving the newly-won heights and town thinly held. Having made its way north from Calabria, Panzergrenadier-Division 29 was finally set to counterattack. During the night, the Germans infiltrated the Altavilla heights without being spotted, the broken ground providing cover. At dawn, the grenadiers opened fire on the Americans at close range.
Attacker: German (Bataillon 2, Panzergrenadier-Regiment 115, Panzer-Division 29)

2021-08-27(A) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites American winMy Germans had a good few turns, but then started to break profusely and by Turn 6, I was desperate to take locations. At game end, I had 6 points and the surviving Americans had 8 for the win.
2021-05-22(A) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Melnikov German win
2020-06-17(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Grachev American win
2019-10-29(A) O Ramaille vs American winA second try of this scenario. The Germans divided their forces to get both to the buildings and the hills. The Americans were positioned in 3 compact groups, one on the building and two on the hills. The initial German assault failed towards the buildings but succeeded in the western hill. Despite the broken ground, the American firepower was too strong for the German morale and the assault stalled. Another easy victory for the US.
2019-10-21(A) O Ramaille vs American winThe German plan was to take the hill first and then assault the town. A bad plan and ill-executed. The US firepower was no match for the Germans in the open despite a first ambush. Unable to take the hill and thus the town, the Germans withdrawed.
A very average scenario.
