Salerno, September 9th 1943: Alternative Historical Campaign Scenario: Operation Avalanche was an Allied attempt to outflank the German positions in southern Italy and quickly gain control of the strategic port of Naples. The Italian 22nd Coastal Division was present and could have fought had the Government in Rome not surrendered. This unit has been added, as a result, this scn will be a bit harder for the Allied player. In addition, this scenario includes some additional German reinforcements in the form of units made available from 10 AOK Reserves. These include an additional Jagdpanzer battalion from France, a battalion of FJ paratroops from Foggia, and a Pioneer battalion from Korps reserves. There is also a possiblity that the 1st Panzer Battalion of the 16th Panzer Division has returned from Germany after refitting with Panthers. [Size, large] Designer Note: There is a Strategy|Operations option in this scenario to add the Panthers to the scenario. In play against the AI, the Axis may or may not add them. However, if the scenario is played between two human opponents, this option should be mutually agreed upon before starting play.
