Cassino '44 | Base Game |
Introduction |
---|
The final American assault on the Cassino Massif was almost a carbon copy of the previous assaults. The outcome was predictable. |
Conclusion |
---|
The U.S. forces fought hard but made little progress, and by the end of the battle they were shattered. One battalion of 168th Regiment had only seven officers and 78 men left, and the 133rd was equally affected. The U.S. divisions around Cassino were a spent force. But the Germans had fared little better, with whole companies reduced to a dozen or so men. The German command quickly fed more reserves into the Cassino sector, and both sides dug in and awaited the next move. |
