Operation Avalanche Platoon Roster

Sorry guys, my gaming has been seriously curtailed; not much time with the new baby on deck.  But you know me, I can't go too long without sneaking off for a bit of gaming...

Following the mop up on Sicily, the regiment jumped into Italy in support of Operation Avalanche, the Landing at Salerno, 13 September 1943 to 4 January 1944.  They were not involved in much fighting, then were evacuated to the UK to  prep for Overlord.  My goal with this is very limited: I recently purchased a set of rules called "Five Men in Normandy" and want to test them out with a few games, so I figured my 'All-Americans' platoon could serve nicely as a test bed.  If this works (i.e., if I'm happy with the rules), my intent is to start a new campaign with Brits vs. Germans in Normandy.
