Overview:

After the swift and total Axis victory over Greece, Bulgaria laid claim to Thrace and Macedonia. Throughout the winter of 1941-42, small bandit groups began to emerge as the nucleus of a fledgling resistance movement. On March 29th, two such bands looking to augment their meager armory raided a Bulgarian encampment in the Rhodopes Mountains. They made off with a number of weapons including light and tripod-mounted machineguns. A Bulgarian infantry company, after sorting itself out, set off in pursuit of the bandits. . .

2022-08-10(D) wayne baumber vs Graham Bulgarian winThis game does stick in the memory for the magic Bulgarian mortar which in one turn managed to keep rate for more than 6 shots including 2 CH, totally unhinging my Partisan defense .
2021-06-21(A) Stephen Stewart vs Asad Rustum Bulgarian win
2021-06-20(D) Asad Rustum vs Stephen Stewart Bulgarian win
2020-06-28(D) John Smith vs Scott Partisan winIt looks like the Bulgarians would have the upper hand in this one, but in our case the Partisans pulled out a victory because of some crazy die rolls in the 2nd half. The Partisans still had 2 squad equivalents of MGs operating, and the Bulgarians just couldn't muster up enough to get 9 squad equivalents to hexrow I. An interesting scenario, but the limit range and firepower (esp. for the Greek Partisans) was frustrating at times.
2018-06-21(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Bulgarian winUsed Partisan balance.

2016-12-01(A) Juan Garrido vs Solo Partisan win
2016-11-12(A) Michael Dorosh vs Colin Emerson Partisan winCame down to last turn. Lots of 12s in this one, but Partisan hung on to two MGs to force 9 squads over the finish line. Just couldn't get my Bulgarians going fast enough, particularly my mortar.
2016-11-12(D) Colin Emerson vs Michael Dorosh Partisan winBarely won by holding 2 mgs. One remained hidden until the second last turn, kind of sneaky but a good tactic to make it tougher on the Bulgarians. Definitely didn't think of that tactic at the time.
This is a fall back and hold on for dear life type scenarios. Looking at the battlefield it's a loss for the Partisans. Bulgarians steam rolled me.
2016-09-18(A) Alan Krause vs Sebastiano Caltabiano Partisan win
2015-04-16(A) Shane Pask vs Bulgarian winI started well with 1 partisan MMG breaking and the other losing all its manning infantry (1 went berserk and 1 was shot by sniper). The MMG was recovered by Janis who was still manning it (alone and wounded) at game end. It still took 7 turns to win.
2015-01-04(A) Seumas Hoskins vs Bulgarian win
2014-11-28(A) Robert Zinselmeyer vs Jan Spoor Bulgarian winThe Bulgarian mortar was the difference maker. Broke several partisans in the central woods and then scored a CH on the 9-1 w/MMG in the foxhole to break it open on the left and the Bulgarians were able to pour through.
2014-06-18(D) Martí Cabré vs Eloi Soler Bulgarian winAll my long distance fire failed with almost no harm to the Bulgarians, who trashed my partisans with mg and mortar fire. Along with that I disabled all my MGs on the first shot of each one. He took two turns to reorganize and then walk along the edge of the board against a position that was wiped out by his fire. My units tried to cross the board to cover it and where KIA'd by his mg fire, so I conceded.
2014-05-25(A) Aaron Sibley vs Randy Strader Bulgarian winGood fun tight learning scenario..
2013-11-26(A) Jeff B vs Ted Wilcox Bulgarian win4.5 hrsThe partisans malf'd every gun and just couldn't connect on many shots.
