Because almost three-quarters of the 442nd had been declared "combat ineffective," they were rotated out of the Vosges Mountains and sent to a relatively quiet part of the French-Italian border to patrol, rebuild, and rest. Four months later, back in fighting trim, they reported back to Italy for the final push on the Gothic Line. The commander of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team devised a plan to break the deadlock that had confounded the 92nd Infantry Division for six months. For two nights the 3rd Battalion climbed steep mountain trails to get behind German lines. At 0500 they turned and took the enemy from behind.

While the 3rd Battalion was pushing the enemy westward the 100th Battalion was driving another group eastward. For 24 hours the Americans pushed the enemy before them until they met at Mount Cerretta. This pincher opened the way to Mount Belvedere. In two days the Nisei had accomplished what other outfits couldn't do in the previous six months.

This scenario is an updated version of the "Surprised" scenario from the 1st edition of Go for Broke.
