Overview:

The battle for control of Ortona had been raging for three days. Going into the 23rd of December, the defending German paratroopers of the 1st Fallschirmjaeger Division seemed to retain the initiative no matter what actions the attacking Canadians took. Many of the Germans were veterans of urban fighting in Russia. One group of German paratroopers was led by veteran Feldwebel Fritz Illi. Illi kept his men moving constantly as they contested the Canadians for control of block after block. The men of the 2nd Canadian Brigade “Seaforth Highlanders” pressed their attack against Illi’s men.

2022-06-11(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2022-06-11(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winDan's British advanced in strength against Germans in the G Row locations. His first turn smoke blinded the German 9-2 and MMG. By Turn 3, Dan's British had killed 3 German squads but lost 4 themselves. Turn 4 was the pivot point as the Germans maintained their hold on the G4 Row and inflicted heavy losses on Dan's half-squads. By Turn 6, both British Shermans had fallen to Panzerschrecks and the Germans had units adjacent to all three victory locations and only one of those was not in good order. So the game would end a German victory.
