The Gela objective is just too dominant (200 VPs). If the US player just shoves as many forces as possible into Gela, the Italians can't do anything about it. Even if they manage to cut Gela off its supplies, it's practically impossible to disrupt all of the ca. 10 US units in Gela (trenches, village) at once. The best the Italians can reach (take all the other objectives and don't (!) attack Gela to prevent casualties) is a minor defeat in this case. It would be much more interesting if Gela was worth 100 VPs - this would incite the US player to also keep an eye on the other objectives, forcing him to spread out his forces more. Right now, it's just "let's all move into Gela!". Alternatively, a lower max. stacking limit would also help the Italians (any assault attacker).
Smolensk/#0730_01: Yelnya2_Alt (unwinnable for soviets)
Due to the alternative PDT, the soviet units are even slower in the predominant soft ground conditions. You will have a hard time to reach the objective locations even with no enemy interference! Unfortunately, the Germans have at least as many troops as you, well positioned and dug-in at bottlenecks. The alternative scenario makes the soviet forces even weaker (the tank battalions are totally depleted!), so the soviets simply can't win this one. They're up with inferior, slow and outnumbered forces against a well prepared force guarding bottlenecks.
Gent:
I put together a similar list (started in June 2017) and add to it periodically since that date.
