2023-02-01	(A) Paolo Cariolato	vs	Federico Corso		Russian win		Russian stayed out of italian LOS on turn 1 but were able to get an 8 hexes LOS with concealment units to an italian one, the 10 units Human wave that ensued was able to pass the river and get to the wood in the advance phase with a couple of units. In the meantime, no access to italian OBA and the radio observer was first broken and then killed by a sniper. The russian sniper took another italian leader and the killer MG stack led by the 9-2 wreak havoc into the italian lines. My opponent conceaded with good reasons. A scenario not for everyone, The defence has to be prepared very well, and you cannot get the attack wrong. A difficult scenario.
2022-08-27	(A) Dan Best	vs	Kermit Mullins		Italian win
2022-08-27	(D) Kermit Mullins	vs	Dan Best		Italian win		What is there to say about Red Don? It's slaughter on ice and so it was in our game. The Italian OBA wreaked the primary Russian attack. By Turn 3, the Russians were out of juice and gave the concession. It was a red dawn.
2022-07-17	(D) Eric Topp	vs	Ron Oxford		Italian win		Ron's Russians tried to cross the frozen river but were cut to pieces by my Italians. In particular, the Italian HMG seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of bullets. Ron conceded at the end of turn 1 when half his force were either broken or dead.
