Turn 1:
Allies:
The British 46 and 56 IDs landed at and secured Salerno, securing supply for the Allied beachhead.
The US 36th ID landed south of Salerno and drove east, pushing back the 16th PzGrD, and ensuring any Axis counter-acttacks woudl be pointless.
26th PzD was pushed around by CND 1 ID and UK 5 ID as they advanced north.
British Commandos and Marines landed at Bari, securing the port and advancing north, towards the 1st FJ Division.
The majority of the UK 1 AirD, with support of Canadian tanks, landed at and secured Taranto, advancing north from there as far as Altamura.
As per the above image I moved my divisions into their defensive positions, with 64 PzGrRgt16 PzD and 26 PzRgt-26 PzD joining HG PzD.
Two things of note:
The first would be the gap between 29 PzGrD and 1 FJD. This will have to be filled with whatever I can scrape together as 29 PzGrD, being along neither the main advance route of the Salerno landings of the Taranto/Bari landing,s is already stretched out and I do not wish to stretch out 1 FJD.
The second would be the few stranglers of 26 PzD scrambling to retreat north. They, along with maybe some flak guns, could end up holding 'the gap.'
An attack was lined up with the entire Luftwaffe in Italy set to descend on the Allied fleet. About 10 enemy ships were damaged or destroyed and Luftwaffe casualties were relatively light.
