Fifth Army directed the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to push across the Cecina River and establish a bridgehead. After the Nisei managed to overcome the doughty defenders along the river they took some time to regroup. Rested, fed, and re-equipped, with more bullets and grenades, the now seasoned Americans headed northward to secure their objective for the day - an innocuous road junction five miles northwest of the Cecina.

Fortune favors the bold, or so the saying goes. The Nisei pushed hard on the fleet-footed German airmen who gave way to their stalwart northward trudging foe. Resistance did not stiffen until the Nisei approached the vicinity of the critical road juncture. Here the reluctant Luftwaffe infantry dug in and made their stand. Not willing to throw away lives unnecessarily, the Nisei called in a heavy artillery barrage which soon convinced Kesselring's men to find a better place to fight.

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