They had little reason to be concerned, for it was obvious that a frontal attack up the tortuous and twisting roadway that climbed laboriously from the valley floor would be suicidal. To the East lay a waste of gullies and gorges one that ended at the foot of a nearly vertical rock face which soared almost a thousand feet to terminate at the ancient Norman castle crowning Assoro's summit,"** Overnight, One Canadian Battalion travelled cross-country to arrive at the Eastern base of the mountain. The first Company to climb up the terraced cliffs was a Special Assault Company - the twenty best men from each Co. in the Battalion, packing only their weapons and as much ammunition as they could carry.** We have succesfully out-flanked the enemy.* It's now dawn, and the attack can wait no longer.** THE MISSION* Assault and secure the Village of Assoro.** YOUR ORDERS* Assault Company* Clear the top of mountain of the enemy. Overrun the Enemy FO lookout and secure the road that accesses the lookout. Once their objectives have been met, they are free to support the attack on the village.** Eastern Assault.* As quick as possible, form up and move through the Assault Company's positions and attack the Town. Clear it of all enemy activity.** Western Assault* Two platoons to attack the Western Outpost, one platoon to block the road access.** DESIGNER'S NOTES* Stealth will be your ally for your opening moves, we know the enemy has substantial artillery assets and they are very adept at using them.** This is the second in a series of Scenarios that depict in some small way some of the battles involving the Canadian Army during Operation Husky.* I hope you enjoy them.* ** Source:* Official History of the Canadian Army in the Second World War - Volume II - THE CANADIANS IN ITALY 1943 - 1945* Juno Beach Center Website* Legion Magazine Website*
