2020-12-22(A) Rob MacGinley vs Jean-Yves Tessier Italian / Partisan (French) winTo hold the Italians - easy
To charge thru a town and get men off the board - harder
To do both
Well Run Forest Run scenarios are like that!! - tough on those that run
did not make it in the end
2020-12-13(D) Eric Topp vs Ron Oxford Italian / Partisan (French) winMy Partisans set up mostly in the north-west with a smaller screening force in the east. My Italians put most of their forces on the hill with a view to shooting at the Germans crossing the open ground between hexrows O and L. The Germans set up strongly in the east with a delaying force of what I thought was mostly Dummies in W10, U7 and U2.

The Germans attacked aggressively taking some infantry losses. The Partisans tried to hold a defensive line along the N6-M1 hedge but more outgunned and fell back to the woods.

Turn 3 was the turning point of the game. The Germans were committed to pushing through the central woods but the Partisans stood firm. The SS seem to have run out of bullets. The Italians caught up with the German rearguard and were eliminating/capturing broken units.

Turn 5 saw the Germans get some luck with snakes on a self-rally creating an 8-1 leader but these were in the rear with little impact on the game. The StuGs roared off but that wasn't enough Exit VP. The German 9-1 leader stacked with a squad headed for the A1 corner. Only a Partisan 8-0 leader and a squad was there to guard it. First Fire! Boxcars! Subsequent First Fire! Snakes! A 2KIA on the 2 column and that was that.
2020-11-24(A) Richard Jenulis vs Steve Pleva Italian / Partisan (French) win2020 Albany tournament (round 1). Germans made good progress on turn 1 and looked to blow through the Partisan line. Partisans slowed the Germans down on turn 2, and stalled the Germans on turn 3. Turn 4, the wheels fell off. Italian MTR immobilized a StuG on turn 2, that really hurt the Germans. Fun scenario, the Germans need to play smart.
2020-11-17(A) Jeff B vs Joe Arthur Italian / Partisan (French) winI broke from my own plan of just driving my StuGs off the board and holing up with my infantry. I had my opportunity. I'll chalk it up to ennui in never wanting to play this loser in the first place.
