Licata, the JOSS sector, in the early hours of July 12th 1943: On the extreme left flank of the invasion, Truscott's 3rd US Division, supported by elements of the Combat Command A of the 2nd Armored Division were fighting their own battle in the face of light opposition. But the Italian Sixth Army had hastily ordered scattered elements to attempt to contain the expanding beachhead. During the 12th, several short, sharp engagements occurred as Truscott ran up against Italian counterattacks as well as their first German opponents in the Battle for Sicily, as KG Fullreide of the 15th (Sizilien) Pz Gren Division blocked the advance on Canicatti.

Short scenario length (9 turns) forces Allied player into reckless behavior (ea. Move adjacent to enemy units in travel mode. Max fatigue troops)for any hope of a victory. Axis player can make main objective Canicatti pretty much impregnable in a few turns. Not a favorite Sicily 43 scenario and not recommended. Will not replay this one.
