This is the next scenario in the 502 PIR series honoring "Long John" Hanlon.

The initial setup is restricted to setup hexes. The Axis battery was koed by Naval Gunfire before the scenario begins leaving only 2 Gren platoons. Over the next 45 minutes (three turns)the Allies took all victory hexes except 0604. This is where the Axis were held up. The Allies made repeated advances trying to end next to the Axis position. Repeated disruptions and demoralization and step losses made the Allies attack collapse by 0845. Axis victory. Historically this was a Allied victory, thanks mostly to Staff Sgt. Harrison Summers and a miss dropped 83ed airborne Lt. with some fire support from others. The pair cleaned out a group of buildings know on their maps as Objective WXYZ. Sgt. Summers wasn't present today though. This scenario is really tough for the Allies. They just don't have enough strength. For Sgt. Summers the German's at times seemed almost comatose. That is just about what it would take for the Allies to win this scenario.
