Introduction |
---|
The New Zealand Corps' failure to break through German defenses at the Railway station left elements of the 28th 'Maori' Battalion trapped there. The order was given for them to hang on, but around 1515 the Germans counterattacked with armor support. |
Conclusion |
---|
New Zealand artillery fired smoke to screen the Maoris from fire from the Massif, but it also masked the German forces as they assembled to assault the Railway Station. The Maoris repelled attacks until mid-afternoon when the Germans attacked in force with armor support. The Maoris had no heavy weapons or anti-tank guns, and with German tanks firing point-blank the German infantry cleared the Railway Staition and forced the remainder of the Maoris back over the Rapido. |

In hindsight, I really should have taken a couple of turns to spread GRENs across river and flank wide. Now I suffered from traffic jam on the railway embankment and had like ten steps lost before Maori's had their first.
