2022-03-19(D) manzoli andrea vs Galletto Russian / Partisan win
2021-04-16(D) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger Russian / Partisan winVery exciting game, going down to the last CC Phase. The Russian got off to a great start, with fortunate DRs knocking out my front line, including a HIP gun before it was even revealed! The Russians then swarmed down the southern flank, although they and the Partisans then ran into a hidden HMG and found it hard to climb up the hill. Still, the Russians had taken all of the buildings East of the main N-S road through the village by the time the Italian reinforcements arrived.
From then on it became something of a slugfest as the Italians had to recapture at least one of these buildings to win (without losing any more). They captured one with a risky move round the Russian rear, temporarily captured a second but were forced out, but then lost a further building to a Russian counterattack. The 10-2 leader and a squad made it into another building, but they failed to clear it in CC so the Russians won by the narrowest of margins.
Great scenario.with lots of attack and defence on both sides.
2021-02-21(D) John Smith vs Scott Russian / Partisan winA close one. Russians swarmed in and took nearly all the buildings south of the stream, routing the thing Italian defenders. The reinforcements came on, with a fearless 10-2 who later battle hardened to a 10-3 and recaptured 12 buildings. They only needed on more. The 10-3 and two squads made a mad dash for a strategic building on the hill overlooking the crossroads, dodging small arms fire the entire way, and T34 HE. The made it adjacent to the objective only to have every unit get pinned, negating any chance to advance into the 13th building. Argh!! Great scenario.
2020-10-10(A) Jason Wert vs Kevin Killeen Russian / Partisan winvASLOK 2020
2020-01-25(D) Vic Lauterbach vs Ben Lootens Russian / Partisan winBen's methodical attack hit my left flank hard and exploited my unbalanced setup. My defense collapsed before I could shift units. Partisans and T-34s prowling around didn't help! Still a solid, fun scenario.
