Overview:

During six months of static mountain warfare around Cassino, the New Zealand Divisional Cavalry had found little use for their lumbering Staghound armored cars. This changed after Rome fell. In hot pursuit of the retreating enemy in the Liri valley, the Cavalry were often in the lead, receiving a liberator's welcome from the Italian population. This did not last long: at the end of July they ran into the outposts of the Gothic Line, defended by the hardened veterans and Bassotto (Dachshund) assault guns of 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division.
Attacker: New Zealand (23 Battalion and A Squadron, Divisional Cavalry Regiment, 2nd New Zealand Division)
Defender: German (II. Bataillon, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 12, 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division)

2021-08-25(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Duenskie, Ron German win
2021-01-21(A) Mike Grogan vs Dale Wetzelberger German winA close game which could of gone either way but a sniper broke one of my 4-5-8s late on in the game, which with a skilful German counter-attack meant I was 2 buildings short.
2021-01-14(A) Eric Topp vs John Fedoriw New Zealand winNZ took nine buildings so Germans had to recapture two to win. Game came down to a Kiwi HS defending against two German 548 squads and a 9-1 leader. The HS survived the 4-1 CC for a NZ win.

Well done MMP republishing this scenario!
2021-01-08(D) Paul Works vs Nathan Wegener New Zealand winNZ troops entered from south and east. Germans had some good shots on turns 1 and 2, but failed to get any hits or kills. I took an ill-advised PF shot from a building that ended up a) missing, and b) breaking the full squad that took the shot. this resulted in that flank collapsing. Nathan used his vehicles to force surrenders on that unit and a couple others. Ouch. My counter-attack units nearly did the trick. I had a 2-1 CC and a 1-2 -2DRM CC that (if I had rolled well) would have won the game for the Germans, but gacked them both. Well played by Nathan! This a fun, tight scenario.
2020-12-30(D) Jason Wert vs Michael Daschbach German win
2020-12-19(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winDan's first rolls were pretty bad with a 12 on a Panzerfaust effect, a MALF'd Stug on its first shot and a miss from the Panzerschreck. My New Zealanders secured 9 buildings, but by Turn 5, Dan had taken three of them back. On Turn 5, I retook one building, but a 1 factor shot pinned my 4-5-8 who was going to move into CC for #8 and that was game. Good win for Dan's Germans.
2020-12-19(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2020-12-03(D) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger German winGreat little scenario, which we both really enjoyed. It looks as though the New Zealanders have go a lot going for them, heavily outnumbering the At Start German forces and able to come on from two map edges, but too much aggression can fall victim to HIP German units and mines, and of course those panzerfausts. The luck swung both ways in this game, and it went down to the wire: the New Zealanders captured seven buildings but could quite manage to take the eighth they needed for the win.
2020-10-18(A) Tom Kearney vs Walt McWilliams New Zealand winVery close.
