I borrowed the scn Big Bully map. Military records show this was an alternative landing site considered in the US Landing on Sicily on Sept 23 of 1943. While hypothetical it is based on units used in the real Sicily landing and Axis units stationed in the area. While many of the German units had left the island for mainland Italy shortly after the Sept landings, it is possible had they landed in Mazara that an encounter with this unit make-up would have happened.

Lots of US losses early on. Not for the weak of faith
you may not want to take all the US reinforcements early in the game. Use smoke and arty to your advantage.
U.S Army invasion of a port city in Sicily defended by an assortment of German & Italian troops. Very tense with heavy action from the first turn and it doesn't let up. Americans need to get ashore as quickly as they can but beware that some of the landing sites put the GI's in extreme jeopardy so delaying some of the reinforcements may be necessary until you can make the landing zones safer with the Naval Gunfire. Very exciting scenario.
