Another playing where the Italians can take the VC hexes easily and the Greeks with limited anti-tank capacity struggle against FT tanks and the like
It went to the last turn but the puff runs out for the Greeks

Italian win
On the face of it, the Italians should have problems in this scenario: mud, tankettes that have to use platoon movement and are vulnerable to MG fire, Greek guns in dominant positions on the hills, In practice though, the tankettes all have low GP so are pretty much unaffected by mud, and are very small targets so I just couldn't hit them with anything! CC attacks also failed, so the Italians just swarmed me, culminating in driving INTO some of the buildings they needed for victory, rather than VBM-freezing them. And none of the tankettes even bogged, let alone fell into the cellar. So an easy win for the Italians with a turn to spare.

Italian win
Italians had a shortage of infantry but the late arriving flamethrower cleared the Greeks out of the needed victory zone. The Italian mortar smoked 2 of the 3 Greek guns before malfing, and the third Greek gun broke itself. Wild dice made for a lot of back and forth personal morale checks.

Italian win
I completely blew the gun set up restrictions but Tom and I played on in a nail biter that that came down to the last turn CC rolls for an Italian win. The Italian sniper never failed to activate when given the chance and two activations late in the game helped the Italian cause greatly.
