Played this one solitaire, so randomly placed two mines per Gustav line hex. German defenses were spaced evenly along the Rapido with HMG's supporting the strongpoints, and 75mm gun in the center of the line.

American plan was to concentrate engineers along southern end of playing area, with HMG's and infantry platoons in center to occupy German interest. First engineer entered southern most mine hex and revealed two decoys! So, the American's had an immediate clear path to the Rapido to cross. At this point, the Americans used one engineer to clear the adjacent hex of mines (two 1 strength mines), and the second engineer to support river crossings in the southern most hex.

Given the American superiority in numbers, the Germans wer not able to adjust enough units to the south quickly enough to hold off the crossing. So, the Americans were able to get their entire force across. Casulties were even between the sides, but with the American steps across the river, they won easily on occupation points.

Good, quick scenario. American cause aided immensely by first hex entered being two decoy mines. Would most likely have been considerably different if they had to clear mines before crossing.
