Overview:

Following the successful campaigns in North Africa and Sicily, the Allied commanders turned their attention to the Italian mainland. As Allied forces march up from the toe of Italy, several British and American divisions landed in and around Salerno as part of Operation Avalanche. The ebb and flow of this campaign was highlighted in a series of small encounters at Montecorvino Airport, 5 miles south-east of Salerno on landing day. The first encounter occurred early on 9 September, 1943.The airport was a few miles inland from the landing beaches of the British 56th Division. The 2/6th Queen's battalion under Lt. Col. Keighley from the 169th Brigade was assigned the task of securing the airfield. Facing them were the men from the 2nd Battalion, 10th Panzer Grenadier Regiments. Unfortunately, the Shermans from 'C' Squadron Royal Scots Greys assigned to support the Queen's were delayed at the beaches, forcing the men from the Queen's to attack across open terrain.

2025-08-13(D) John Nebauer vs Chris Harding British winThe British concentrated against the German right. The German mortar never managed to get ROF, the lowest German IFT roll was a '7', and the British managed a HOB Hero creation. Called on GT3 after the 9-1 leader failed a NMC in the VC location. But it was great fun!
2024-12-03(D) M T vs V.K. German winGerman defense held throughout the game, even though I forgot to HIP my AA Guns and lost one of them to a mortar CH shot.

A nice quick playing scenario with some variety introduced by the random aircraft wreck placement.
2023-06-18(D) Miikka Sohlman vs Yasuo Nakae German win
2022-01-15(D) Scott Sherer vs Skip Dyckman German winPretty dominant German win...dice heavily favored the Germans and the Brits did not get close to capturing the VC building. Quick-playing scenario good for a short FtF session. Played at January CAASL meeting.
2021-12-07(A) Grant Linneberg vs Asad RustumA British win
