September 10, 1943: Italy. 18 days of grueling battles begin along the rocky precipices of Chiunzi Pass. After securing the Western flank of the Allied invasion, US Rangers establish small footholds above the Naples plain, severing German supply lines. The Germans rush a thinly guarded mountain pass in an attempt to relieve the strain at the Salerno beachhead.

Very nice and balanced scenario perfect as an introduction for newbies.
It's important for the Germans to keep moving trucks every turn and trying get to some additional VP's at the end of round 4.
This is a great balanced scenario, and a great way to get into the game.
