Historical Background:
Convinced of drive back the Allies to the sea, General Vietinghoff ordered an attack with all forces available in the area of Eboli against US troops. So, on the 13th of September, about 20 German tanks with infantry and artillery attacked the 1st Battalion 157th RCT entrenched in the tobacco factory captured the day before. In spite of the fire of US artillery and anti-tank guns, the Germans recaptured the factory and the bridge on the Sele river, the 1st Battalion was routed and the 2nd Battalion 143rd RCT lost 500 soldiers as prisoners of war. Then, the Germans were under heavy fire of the US artillery and Navy so they stopped their offensive and withdrew to Persano at nightfall. But for US troops, this day was known as the "Black Monday".
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
