Having only eight HQ makes having even two out of command will cause difficulties when I anticipate both forces are fully engaged in the late afternoon.  Back on turn four four of nine were out of command.  AS I proceed south, supply will fall to the mid to low 60's.  Combine that with an out of command HQ and the quality of the Axis force will be diminished, at least temporarily.  The Axis forces do not have the numbers.  They do have a quality edge that I will try to maintain.

Eliminated the AB Eng at Vittoria bridge and AB inf at Ponte Olivo.  Air strike takes out 29 AB inf reducing it from 8X to 5X as it approaches Comiso. Next turn we will see if those paratroops want to press on.

Setting ambush for American 82 AB company pursuing the defenseless Italian Trg Cadre Bdg.  Will they take the bait? I think they are scouting for the larger inf coming from the beaches.
Maybe there will be an opportunity to retake the Pillbox position. It would be worth more than the 150 VP.  Those two hilltop positions could give a good view to any force approaching to take it back.  That is also a detriment to my attempt.  Just hoping the American player is not there in strength yet. The panzers and PzGr will need the Livorno or 3rd Inf Regt to protect their right flank for such an attack.

The Allies have a minor victory at this point. I think I can sweep the east side of the map and force the 45th ID units back towards a small bridgehead between the beach VP location and the Ponte Drillo. Pinning the 45th ID like that will be a victory of sorts weakening the west side of the map. Time, distance, and low visibility means I will have to advance aggressively yet with as much caution to not have paratroops sneak in behind my east wing advance. No easy task with an opponent like Steel God.
