Overview:

After months of anti-partisan operation east of Zagreb, the 1st Light Infantry Parachute Battalion had finally returned to its home barracks in the Zagreb neighborhood of Maksimir. The writing had been on the wall for a while, but word had finally come down that Croatian armed forces should head for Austria to surrender to the Western Allies. On May 6th the battalion left Zagreb as the rearguard of a large, mixed-Axis retreating force headed for Dravograd and Austria. Despite repeated air attacks on the column, the paratroopers stayed together until reaching Celje, halfway to Dravograd. Slovenian partisans had set up blocking positions along the roads to keep the retreating fascists from reaching Austria. Captain Ivan Simek divided the battalion into small groups with orders to infiltrate past Celje and on to Austria. . . .

2020-08-23(D) John Smith vs Scott Croatian winCroatians numbers and their assault fire ability was just too much for the Slovenians. My opponent move brought most of his forces down the south side of the board, and my spread out Partisans couldn't move fast enough to create a decent blocking force. I would recommend setting up more of your Partisans centralized with the ability to react. This one ended on turn 5 and favors the Croatians pretty decently.
2014-09-25(A) Richard Carter vs Mark Moore Partisan winI guess I screwed up my advance. He made a nice w/drawal that foiled my final exit.
