Overview:
In the early hours, the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, backed by tanks from The Calgary Regiment and a machine-gun platoon from the Saskatoon Light Infantry, embarked on their northward advance. Their objective: to secure the crucial Cider Crossroads, where the San Leonardo-Tollo Road intersected with the Ortona-Orsogna highway. However, as they made their way through the apparently abandoned countryside, they soon found themselves confronting formidable German resistance. Waves of concentrated machine-gun and mortar fire rained down upon them, proving immune to the efforts of even their own artillery. Undaunted, the Loyal Eddies pressed forward, determined to overcome this fierce opposition and achieve their mission.Attacker: Canadian (Loyal Edmonton Regiment)
Defender: German (Panzer Grenadier Regiment 361, 90 Panzer Grenadier Division)

| 2024-01-01 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | My Brits got chewed up right out of the gate. German Sniper hit me three times before the end of Turn 1. 81 Mortar got a CRIT hit, which hobbled my 9-1's platoon. Then the 50L AT Gun promptly took out the first of my two Shermans. I threw in the towel before the end of Turn 2 Movement Phase. This scenario is well-scripted to channel the British into a killing zone. Don't be fooled by the small number of Germans. They are well equipped to win this scenario. I failed to get smoke with my 51 Mortars, which in this game was the kiss of death. The Mines block the board edge creeps...so moving into the center is required and especially to keep your tanks from bogging. Personally, I've never enjoyed this kind of scenario. |
