Anzio - the Factory Game 2

Game two at the Anzio "Factory."  Two companies of German Infantry trounced a full battalion of US Infantry in game one.

This time the US are using an armour to support the Infantry battalion.  Let's see if 6 Shermans and 2 Stuart's can do the trick.

The Factory, Aprilla, a new town that US Infantry thought looked like a bombed out factory.

The tanks swing on a left flank move.

The US send armoured infantry in to challenge the dug in Germans.

88mms guns kill a tank pretty quickly.

German armour creeps around the town.  Pretty ineffective.

And I let loose with a typhoon airstrike, but that too is ineffective.

Turns out that dug in German Infantry are well hard.

It also turns out that sending tanks in amongst panzerfausts is a poor idea.

And those German 88mms are deadly.

But it's a battle of attrition and the US have double the German numbers!

Nearing the end the Germans have two FUBAR, as do the Americans.

The US tanks roll over the Germans - finally.

The US get E company into the town.

The German's final O Group roll is shocking.  They call it a day.

Great game, and the rebase has revitalised the look of these guys.
