Overview:

The Riva Ridge summit was secured early on the morning of 19 February. This removed the Germans' ability to observe Mt. Belvedere and direct accurate fires against attacking forces. Starting at 2300 that same evening, two battalions from the 87th Mountain Infantry Regiment attacked into the gap between Riva Ridge and Mt. Belvedere and along Mt. Belvedere's eastern flank. Another battalion attacked along the lower slopes of Mt. Belvedere's southern flank. The 3rd Battalion, 85th Mountain Infantry Regiment attacked Mt. Belvedere from the south and southeast, while the 1st Battalion, 85th Mountain Infantry attacked toward Mt. Gorgolesco slightly to the east. Little opposition was initially encountered. Approximately 300 yards from the summit of Mt. Belvedere and Gorgolesco, the Mountaineers ran into the main German resistance line.
Attacker: American (1st and 3rd Battalions, 85th Mountain Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division with Sappers, 126th Mountain Engineering Battalion)
Defender: German (1045 Grenadier Regiment, 232 Infanterie-Division)

2024-02-17(A) Nate Gregg vs Chris Gregg American winGreat scenario, probably not ideal for PBEM (184 logs!), but a great scenario. This was part 1 of 3 of the Operation Encore mini-campaign. The Americans attempted to envelop the German hills to get behind the initial line of defense but with a concentrated main effort to take the 5x level 6 hills. The envelopment attempt stalled out running into mines and wire, but took enough pressure off the main effort to aid the main effort in its eventual success. The main effort up the hill struggled but eventually wore down the German defenders, who conceded at the end of turn 7. (see Hill 802 image for Turn 7 carnage)
