What happened to the American's bid? Well, if I hadn't of taken out the arty so fast he would have had a much better chance of getting across the river intact. Also my Stuka did a good job and his ADA was out of place the first turn and under alot of pressure every turn after. He said he wanted to use the guns on his ADA to support his infantry advance but he didn't have an AT weapon except for the bazookas that took forever to get close enough. Again, his arty did good on that front except it didn't last long enough. I probably would have deployed my ADA more to the center if I were Nick and had my recon jeeps more spread out as they really didn't do much. Over all this was a good example of how tough it would have been in Italy against a determined defense from the Germans.
