Overview:

The Bulgarian surrender and subsequent re-entry into the war on the side of the Allies left the German positions in the Balkans in disarray. Army Group F was entrusted with keeping a withdrawal route open for forces in Geece and Albania. Elements of the the 7th SS Prinz Eugen Division took up positions in the Rabicka Gora Mountains. Before long, the familiar whine of German 105mm artillery could be heard, but this time the shells were incoming. German-made weapons were being turned against them by their former ally. Soon came German panzers, but with Bulgarian markings. Trucks with mounted infantry accompanied the tanks. Fortunately for the Prinz Eugen Division, it had been augmented with “88s” that had been withdrawn from the Ploesti oilfields after Romania’s defection to the Allies.

2021-08-26(A) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque German (SS) winAs Bulgarian, I played for the long game, used a lot of HS, and did not ride loaded in trucks. I even kept my tanks mostly out of sight of the 88s. My radio broke on turn two and (using Pleva OBA rules) did not come back until turn five. In turn six, one 88 and the HMG together during a Prep fire broke almost every Bulgarian unit they could see, about eight units. Germans still had most of their squads. Rain had started too, so conceded then.
2021-07-26(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German (SS) winUsed German balance. Both German 88L Guns Malfunctioned early and never Repaired but that did not help the Bulgarian cause much since the 20Ls setup in excellent position took a terrible toll against the attackers. Trucks turned into death traps at every turn, ELR losses crippled the advance once it started Raining immediately on Turn 5. The Bulgarian's impotent rage carried them to Turn 9 with only one Hill hex Controlled ... pretty humiliating loss that should have been called by Turn 7.
