SCENARIO BASED ON ITALIAN CAMPAIGN WINTER 1944

"U.S. II Corps and British XIII Corps pounded away for the next 11 days. In the centre along the main road to Bologna little progress was made. On the right there was better progress, and on October 20 U.S. 88th Division seized Monte Grande, only 4 miles (6.5 km) from Route 9, and three days later British 78th Division stormed Monte Spaduro. However, the remaining four miles were over difficult terrain and were reinforced by three of the best German Divisions in Italy which Kesselring had been able to withdraw from the Romagna as a result of his shortened front: 29th Panzer Grenadier Division, 90th Panzer Grenadier Division and the 1st Parachute Division. By October 28 the Allied offensive had petered out, and the U.S. 5th Army was condemned to a winter in the mountains awaiting better weather and conditions underfoot."
