Return to the Isonzo - battle

 

From Divisional HQ, Hotel Supremo (5*), Venice

Commander, there have been logistical issues…

Would you prefer the mules to bring forward:

The mountain artillery

or

The HMG company ...

 

 

Bombardment phase

 The Italian shells spread Gas around the bunker beneath HILL 103 and south of the Table.

The Austrian HE fell in front of COPSE A

The attack followed with the Alpini scaling the left flank and the Arditi assaulting the Table.  Excellent Italian artillery fire silenced the defenders on the ridge line.

Both sides  used gas, and the assault was pressed home in very limited visibility.

The table was captured, but the ridge reamined in Austrian hands.  Time for Christmas cake and wine.

The battlefield was a source of great interest to the Kat - scale 1:1
