Jon suggested we do a game with US troops for Veterans Day (Nov 11), and since I had no US 6mm minis he would supply them. So I stole another scenario off of Rob Avery's Vis Lardica site that would be a simple set up. For variety I wanted a game that was in Italy so the Highway 7 scenario from the Anzio pack looked good.

The scenario takes place on January 31, 1944 with units of the US 3rd Division trying to expand the Anzio beachead out through the dug in Herman Goering Panzer Division.

And this is a good time to call the game as I was out of AT weapons. No ‘fausts or ‘schrecks. Both StuGs gone and the Pak 38 down to 2 crew.

Overall casualties for the US were 29 out of 90 with a couple of Big Men down. As green troops their activations would be 0 when down to 4 men/squad. At this point they had one good platoon in operation.

The Germans lost one full section and 1 MMG team and 2 other men along with the IG. Fun game with some challenges for the US players.
