Introduction
|
|
As part of the 133rd Infantry Regiment's effort to encircle Sant' Angelo d'Alife the Nisei Battalion was to occupy Hill 529 while the 3rd Battalion occupied Hill 630. This would either force the enemy out or pin them for the 1st Battalion to deal with later. A and C companies led the way, pushing forward aggressively despite signs of heavy German resistance.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
Once their advance had been stopped the Nisei were counterattacked by enemy armor. In heavy fighting the Americans drove off their tormentors, with Pvt. Masao Awakuni claiming one with a bazooka. Awakuni prepared to fire, but his glasses fogged over with the humidity. With the tank idling 25 yards away, he put down the bazooka, wiped his glasses clean, then picked it up and fired the rocket into its side. Despite Awakuni's heroism the Nisei could not resume their advance. The other tanks inflicted heavy casualties on the battalion. During the night the Germans would retreat allowing the Americans to enter the village unopposed the next day.

United States Order of Battle
| 3 Errata Items |
| Scen 5 |
Scenario #5 says all German units are from Elsenborn and are Heer. The scenario calls for one German 20mm, but there are no 20mm Heer units in Elsenborn. Solution is to either use a 20mm SS unit from Elsenborn or substitute a 20mm Heer from one of the other games.
|
|
The reduced direct fire value of the Heer HMG became 5-5 starting with Fall of France.
|
|
The morale and combat modifiers of German Sergeant #1614 should be "0", not "8".
