Overview:

On 12 June, the German commander in Italy was informed that “Elba must be defended to the last man and the last cartridge”. On 14 June, German reinforcements began to arrive on Elba from Pianosa. The decision to reinforce Elba was not known to the Allies, who believed the naval activity between the island and the mainland was in fact an evacuation. Thus, when landed to secure the island they were expecting rear-area German troops but instead found veteran panzergrenadiers recently transferred from the Eastern Front.
Attacker: Free French (9ème Coloniale)

2023-03-09(A) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Grachev Free French winFree French took 3 squad equivalent casualties during the 1-2 Turns, but the flamethrowers said their word, clearing the important strong points, opening the way for the deep penetration and capturing the Gun. The diversionary platoon that had a mission to cut-off the "VP Hill" from the rest of the board was even able to climb to the objective hexes and secure them.
2022-11-19(D) Allen Evenson vs Jim Roche Free French winMy defense seemed pretty good first couple of turns .. but once it cracked, it completely broke down. I only got off two shots with the Gun before it was taken. With Gun spiked and the 3 Hill hexes taken, even with German reinforcements it was clear the Free French were going to take the day. Good FTF game at our monthly PSASL meet-up.

2019-07-18(D) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque In progressAs the German, remember the restriction of the French entry.
2018-10-19(A) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites German winFinished 3-1/2 turns. So far my Free French have secured the German trenches on Board 5a and exited 5 VP. Need another 7, but German reinforcements arrive when we pick this back up next week.

2018-01-28(D) Pieter Van Innis vs Free French winMade some mistakes in my setup and just could not hold the French of until my reinforcements arrived.

2017-11-16(A) Paul Legg vs Nigella Blair Free French win
2017-11-05(A) Jim Kloss vs Bob Eury Free French winI managed to win as the French by only 2 VP! The German player's best defense would be to protect the North 5a board edge where the French forces have to exit. A difficult task considering the required hilltop setup area for the Germans.
