This scenario was directly from Rob Avery's Anzio: Wildcat to Whale book. It is Game 5 - The Huts, an action that took place January 26th, 1944.

I wanted a basic setup to use as a teaching game. The table is flat. The forces are small with mainly a weak British company from the Grenadier Guards and an attacking company of Germans from 29th Panzer Grenadier Division.

The Brits were overwhelmed and the survivors made it back to the heavy cover.

We ended the game at this stage since there was no hope of the Brits recovering the Huts. The German MMG team hadn't even been committed and the 2 Tigers were a pretty effective deterent.Final casualties were 29 out of 72 German infantry hit along with 2 Big Men The Grenadier Guards had 14 of the 28 men down.Not the best learning game for Bill P but everyone enjoyed it.
