Overview:
As Canadian forces pushed steadily through the olive groves and vineyards west of Ortona, Fallschirmjäger-Division 1 was compelled to establish a new defensive line in the town itself. Ortona was already something of a rubble-strewn maze from damage caused by near-incessant Canadian artillery fire; now the Germans enhanced the shambles with demolitions to block likely avenues of approach. By 20 December, the Canadians had reached the outskirts of southern Ortona. A reconnaissance conducted late that evening revealed no German presence whatsoever. Plans were laid to enter the town using the main road -- the Corso Vittorio Emanuele -- to push straight through to the other end of Ortona. At dawn the next morning, the Loyal Edmonton Regiment launched the attack and almost immediately ran into well-prepared German defenses the recce had not revealed.Attacker: Canadian (C Company, Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade and Three Rivers Regiment, 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade)
Defender: German (Bataillon II, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 3, Fallschirmjäger Division 1)

| 2024-06-21 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Dave Ramsey | German win | As Dave says, great scenario, although I thought it was pretty close and could have gone either way until that last turn snakeyes. We were both running out of troops by that stage and my task would have been very tricky had he won that CC. |
