It's a Long Way to Tipperary Tournament - Round 3 - S43 DIME Beach

[Steel God]

Pre-game plans and notes

The area enclosed by the red line are my objectives for the game.  I believe if I can secure and hold those objectives, I should have what I need to secure the Major Victory.  The area enclosed by the green line are diversionary objectives for the 82nd AB troops.  The only German troops on the right side of the map are the 15th PzG Rgt and one of the Italian Mobile groups, the German Infantry component of that (almost 800 men) are the teeth, the rest of it is somewhat underwhelming.  The 4th Livorno in the west and the HG Panzer in the north Center are much more significant forces, so any of the HG units that want to chase my paras in the green area will be welcome, although I suspect that Brian will concentrate both of those divisions near the Ponte Olivo Airfield and try and drive through to the beaches.  Brian is a skilled opponent, and we’ve played often in the past, so I am not setting my sights high.  I will hope to grab what I need and then focus on keeping the loss rates equal to secure my victory, but if needs be I will settle for a Minor Victory and call myself happy with the result.
