Overview:

The landings at Anzio came ashore virtually unopposed, and by January 23 the beachheads were secured. The Allied force didn't move out until January 30, by which time the Germans had stabilized their lines and gathered a sizeable force to oppose any drive inland. The Allies main effort was towards the Colli Albani (Alban Hills) along the Albano River, from the British positions at Carroceto this dominating hill mass was clearly visible. The plan called for the British 1st Division to breach the enemy's main line of resistance along the railroad by seizing the crossing at Campoleone. After passing through the 24th Guards Brigade, the sharp fighting for the line of departure delayed the 3rd Brigade attack until 1510 hours. At this time the 1st Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry drove forward against scattered opposition from the Panzergrenadierregiment 29 to seize their objective on the high ground south of the overpass. Tanks of the 46th Royal Tank Regiment hotly engaged enemy anti-tank guns along the railway embankment.
Attacker: British (Elements of 1st Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry supported by B Squadron, 46th Royal Tank Regiment)

2022-03-07(A) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd British winGood little scenario. The Brits advanced across the west edge and got a lucky shot against the HMG, breaking the leader and squad. This freed up movement against the hill, but the Germans rallied and were able to solidly defend the center of the hill. Two Shermans went down to PFs. The Germans had their AT gun defending on the reverse slope, which was not a bad idea, but the gun never came into play as the Brits were able to take the east side of the hill out of the gun's LOS. The Brits needed to break 3 German squads in their final Prep Fire in order to secure the win, which they were able to do.
2022-02-14(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins British win
2022-02-14(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British winThe British would lose 2-1/2 squads to German snake eyes, but would get up to the hill with all three tanks and four squads for the win.
2022-02-07(A) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler German winA bit tough on the British, me thinks.

I blundered into the teeth of Rob's up front defense.
His two Guns had excellent LOS to most of the British
entry and the mid-board.

In spite of this, I lost by one squad. I was aided by two BH and
Heroes, and hampered by losing two Shermans without having
them roll dice in anger. It would have been even closer if the
third Sherman hadn't malfed on its first MA shot!

It's a really good scenario that needs a bit of study on the part of
both attacker and defender (something I rarely do).

I would happily play this one again!
