Overview:

Avola was the objective of the British 50th Division, which was landing by sea to the south. However, a small group of American paratroopers, who had dropped north of town by mistake, decided to attack. Apparently it didn't occur to them that taking a town of 2,000 would be tough with only 75 men. By mid-afternoon, the attack had stalled and they were pinned down by machine gun fire. Suddenly, a Bren carrier appeared and blasted the position. . . .The following day, a carrier pigeon bearing a message from the Italian 206th Coastal Division was intercepted. Part of the message read: “Heroic infantry and artillery still doing their duty . . . Send more pigeons.”
Attacker: Allies (Elements of 505th PIR, 82nd Airborne Division and 50th Northumbrian Division)
Defender: Italian (Elements of 206th Coastal Division)

2020-11-03(D) Jeff B vs Joe Arthur Italian win8 hrsA really rough situation for the Italians. They have to protect two full boards, while the Allies can pick their point of attack. Once they do this, theoretically all they have to do is AM and advance each turn to be in position for a meeting (and this does not even account for the silly endgame rush this scenario is predicated on). Along the way they cannot suffer 14CVP. Realistically this is the only chance the Italians have. Considering the Carrier alone is worth 5VP the Brits probably want to abandon that thing pronto. As this was it took every ounce of my defensive skill and a fair bit of luck to prevail, and that was only due to the fact that the Brits couldn't pass a MC for their life. Allies hit the CVP cap Turn 5, and that was pure infantry. Nothing like FPF a 6ML Italian two times I was going to self-break anyway, only to have him roll the one result that caused him to go Berserk and not be able to rout anyway. This was an enjoyable game, but I wouldn't want anything important riding on it as the defender.
