Villa Rogatti*
*
Date: December 6, 1943*
*
Battle Location: Villa Rogatti, Italy*
*
Battle Type: Canada vs Germany meeting engagement*
*
Description: Under cover of darkness infantry battalions of the 1st Canadian Division crossed the Moro river on December 6, 1943. The objective for the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was the Villa Rogatti, a village perched on top of a horseshoe formed ridge dominating the local area.* 
*
In the dark the Canadians managed to scale the steep river banks and push into the houses of the village, at first meeting only light resistance from the German defenders but with daylight the compulsory German counterattack was launched by tanks and Panzergrenadiers of the 90th Division. With mounting violence the Germans came on and a crazed battle flared up among the houses and orchards of Villa Rogatti. British armour is trying to negotiate the river and muddy slopes to reinforce the Canadians. Can the PPCLI hold until they arrive?*

Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Canadian side.*
