Thought it would be nice to do a game with US troops for Veterans Day (Nov 11), and since I had no US 6mm minis Jon would bring his long hibernating 6mm Americans. 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 action takes place on January 31, 1944 with units of the US 3rd Div trying to expand the Anzio beachead out through the dug in Herman Goering Pz Div.

Really good looking table. It certainly looks barren, fought over and appropriate for Italy in January.
How did the game go?

As Germans I figured I’d better pull back after losing my AT assets. Click on the big image for the flickr AAR.

Great looking table, really like how the houses have a bit of rubble around them.
That line about targeting and green bases almost caused me to spit my drink! Ya did cause some hurt to the Amis, but probably not enough in the eyes of the General Staff to compensate for the Stugs. Hope you don’t get sent to the Eastern Front!
