The Gustav Line, Littorno, Italy 1944-05-04 (0 others)

Overview:

As the Gustav Line proved hard to crack by frontal assault, the Allied Command in Italy resorted to making concerted attacks by raiding parties and frontline troops at key points of the line. Specialized troops would be landed behind enemy lines by submarine and then travel to their objectives at night. One such mean, quick raid occurred at Littorno, base for a German btn HQ and key supply route site. Elements of the 701st Ranger Btn attacked ferociously and quickly, a pitched battle was raging in and around the village. The Hermann Goering Division, reponding to the cries for help from the village sent an armored detachment. At the same time, Armored elements from the 7th Division, exploiting a breach on the frontline, arrived on the scene. . . . .Victory Conditions: U.S. player secretly chooses before set-up to: 1) Control all buildings on Boards 24/5 --OR-- 2) Clear road 9Y10-9Q1 so that no Good Order German squad/AFV/ordnance exists with LOS to any of the road hexes. Any such squads must also be able to claim normal firepower on any one road hex that they have a LOS to. Any halving effects nullify their eligibility. Game ends the instant that the US player can claim victory.
