Gela, Sicily, late in the evening of July 9th 1943: The II Corps landing at the Gulf of Gela saw some of the heaviest fighting of the early days of the campaign. As fate would have it, a large part of the Herman Goering Division was stationed some 25 km in from the beachhead; it was to be the cause of some very tense moments for the Americans. D-Day as well as D+1 proved to be both crucial days on the beachhead and this scenario covers the action over the longer two day period with different victory levels assigned. [Size medium]

This was actually an alternate with 400 extra "easy" VP's for the Allies. Well, I ended up with a score of 397 and a major loss anyway. I don't think this scenario can be saved without a rework of the HG division -- it is too strong and releases too early.
This was a test of Foul's edited version of this game!
I got luck and the Italians did wonders!
