28.7 Scenario Seven: The
Crisis
By the morning of September 13th the Germans
had halted the American drive inland from
the Salerno beaches. A series of attacks by
the Hermann Göring Panzer Division and
elements of 15th Panzergrenadier Division
against the British Xth Corps had been held,
but only barely. General Heinrich von Vietinghoff,
commanding the German Tenth Army, had become
convinced that the Allies were preparing to
evacuate and ordered all-out attacks. Elements
from four German divisions attacked along
the seam between the US 36th and 45th Infantry
Divisions. With the assistance of hastily
dropped paratroopers and naval gunfire the
Americans halted the German attack as it approached
the American beaches.
28.71 Time Frame. The scenario
begins on the 13 September mid-day German
player-turn and ends following the conclusion
of the 14 September PM turn.
28.72 General Set Up. The

arrive as noted. The German player receives
no reinforcements.

following special restrictions are in effect
during the scenario:
- No unit may enter hexes numbered ##26.
- Neither player has any air points available.
The German player may conduct a glider bomb

28.74 Levels of Victory. The

the player controlling them at the end of
play: 1528, 1632, 1634, 1729, 1832, 1838,
2132, 2136.
The player with six or more victory points
at the end of play wins. If neither player
has six victory points the result is a draw.
28.75 Ammunition. The German
player begins with 6 x type 1 and 3 x type
2 artillery points and receives no more. The
U.S. player begins with 3 x type M, 18 x type

28.8 Scenario Eight: The
Forgotten Flank
The northern flank of the Allied landing
was the last place either side looked for
decisive results due more to its difficult
terrain than anything else. Three US ranger
battalions were detailed to anchor the left
flank by occupying the high ground of the
Sorrento Peninsula. The Germans committed
what they could spare and in the end neither
side gained the advantage.
28.81 Time Frame. The scenario
begins on the 9 September predawn turn and
ends
following the conclusion of the 13 September
night turn.
28.82 General Set Up. Place
the Beachhead marker as noted below. Assault
units arrive as noted on the reinforcement
schedules.
28.83 Special Restrictions. The
following special restrictions are in effect:
- No unit may enter hexes numbered 19##.
- Neither player has any air points available.
The German player may not conduct glider
bomb attacks.
28.84 Levels of Victory. The
Allied player wins if at the end of play he
or she controls three or more of the following
hexes: Pogani (1811), Vietri (1717), Cava
di Terrelli (1514), Castellammare (1107) and
Pompei (1406).
The German players wins if he or she controls
four or more of the hexes listed above.
Any other result is a draw.
28.85 Ammunition. The German
player begins with 4 x type 2 artillery points
and receives no more. The U.S. player may
land one point of mortar ammunition over the
beachhead each AM turn.
28.86 Supply. All Allied
and German units are in supply during the
9 September predawn, AM, mid-day and PM turns.
28.87 German Set Up.

Errata and Clarifications
All Allied units are supplied on the pre-dawn,
AM and mid- turns of 9 September.
Artillery units must be able to trace a supple
path (7.1) to draw ammunition.
The Allied player does not roll the die
(25.23) to determine if warships may bombard
(8.0).
Following a bombardment a warship is depleted
exactly as for offensive support.
Warships are never affected by formation
rules.
The support counter for the US 83 mortar
battalion is incorrectly numbered as 82 on
front and back. |
