Overview:

Once Italy was invaded on 3 September and the armistice signed, the liberation of Corsica began with an uprising ordered by the local Resistance. Initially, Allied High Command considered this a potential distraction given the invasion of Italy, but once it had been revealed how many German troops were in Corsica-and that many Italian army units under a somewhat reticent General Giovanni Magli were defecting en masse-Operation Vesuvius was approved. This guaranteed that more arms would be shipped to the French resistance via submarine even as German units retreating from Sicily and mainland Italy were funneling from southern Corsica to the northern port of Bastia. By the time the armistice was made public on 9 September the Resistance, along with the Italian Cremona and Friuli Infantry Divisions, were ready to engage in combat with the German SS-Sturmbrigade "Reichsführer" moving north.
Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Sturmbrigade "Reichsführer" and assault guns of Panzergrenadier-Division 90)

2022-04-20(D) Martí Cabré vs Björn Lorenzen Italian / Partisan (French) winVery nice scenario with both sides having to risk to win asymmetrical victory conditions. The Germans slowly advanced against the Partisan line, breaking it but allowing for the Italians to close in. The German line slowly degraded. A StuG was left without infantry cover and it was destroyed with Partisan molotovs and the Italians managed to capture three squads. A single concealed Partisan leader ambushed and killed in CC a lone German HS! In the last turn the Germans could score 15 EVP and the allies 19 CVP.
2022-03-06(D) Simon Staniforth vs German (SS) winA nice puzzle and fun to play, something a bit different. Just couldn’t get enough hurt on the Germans who kept together nicely, protecting the StuGs with both able to exit along with sufficient infantry for the win. Risked a Bog check at +4 but sailed through it
2022-03-06(D) Ian Morris vs Gerard Burton German (SS) winThought I’d got this in the bag, but he got both StuGs off for the win.
2022-02-24(D) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers Italian / Partisan (French) winClose game, well-designed puzzle.
2022-02-23(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso Italian / Partisan (French) winVery nice scenario with high replay value. I stopped cold the italians but used too much force, wasn't able to redeploy the picket line as planned. I could still have done it, but a molotov took out a Stug, and my chances were reduced, 3 boxcars on rally reduced my chances even more, on top of that couldn't win a melee for the sake of my life and conceded on the last turn.
We enjoyed the scenario and will gladly play it again.
