Overview:

With the Germans in firm control of the fighting in the west, Mussolini did not want to surrender the opportunity to take some easy ground and win valuable support. Along the southern Alpine front, the Italians massed for a frontal assault into the wall of east-facing fortifications. The French had given up the first few miles of useless hilltops along the border and defended along key crests. When the Italians finally crawled their way to the bunkers they were stopped cold. Along the coast, the Italians smashed into the built-up border town of Menton. The first two assaults brought heavy casualties as the Italians found all but one bridge over the San Luigi destroyed. The third and final assault was made with only small guns and mortars of the mountain artillery available for support.
Attacker: Italian (Elements of 15th Corps)
Defender: French (Reinforced elements of Alpine Fortress Garrison)

2024-11-09(D) Seumas Hoskins vs Dean French winItalians tried broad line approach but got cut down in the attack lanes along the west approach and three accurate French OBAs from the hill obliterated the Italian forces and the player morale.

2022-03-13(A) Andy Beaton vs Will Willow Italian winLucky smoke and OBA rolls neutralized the French on the hills allowing the Italians to swarm forward on a broad front and break up the French defence.
2018-08-26(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. French win
2018-03-19(D) Gordon Jupp vs Nick Holmshaw French winThe Italians made steady progress and captured two pill boxes but the were crucially held up for a turn by stiff resistance in the town by a gun crew and fell just short. The Italian HMG stack was deadly, multiple rate tears....
