Introduction

While the Germans were counterattacking the rest if the regiment, the Nisei captured Hill 610 with daring daylight assault in the face of heavy German artillery fire. Once there they dug in and awaited further developments. AS they suspected, late in the afternoon the Germans decided to reoccupy their hilltop real estate.

Conclusion

Repeatedly the Germans formed up for assaults, and just as often amazingly accurate mortar fire broke up their efforts before they could get very far. Lt Neill M. Ray with two Nisei corporals, Katushi Tanouye and Bert K. Higashi, had established a carefully hidden observation post well ahead of the American lines to bring the fire down on the Germans. Realizing what the Americans had done but unable to pinpoint the Nisei post, all of the German artillery in the sector began a steady rolling barrage across the ground in front of the American positions until the three were killed by a direct hit. Even without this aid, by nightfall it was over and the Americans still occupied the heights of Hill 610. This marked the final attempt by the Germans to reoccupy the area around Santa Maria Oliverto.

Additional Notes

This scenario is an updated version of the "Hill 610" scenario from the 1st edition of Go for Broke.
