After being rebuffed in their final efforts around Santa Maria Oliverto on 5 November, it appeared to the tired 5th Army troops that the Germans were falling back to their next defensive line. These hopes proved illusory as the wily men in grey took up positions on the reverse slope of the next range of hills and prepared a surprise for their pursuers.

As the Nisei struggled forward through the rugged terrain the Germans gave way and then infiltrated back through the lines - no area was totally secured. Battalion command experimented with increased patrols to deal with the security problem but found they had greatly weakened their main thrust. This back-and-forth continued until the 12th when the Nisei were pulled out of the line for a well-earned rest.

This scenario is an updated version of the "Struggling North" scenario from the 1st edition of Go for Broke.
