Overview:

In December of 1942, the Soviets launched Operation SATURN, which in a space of a few weeks succeeded in annihilating most of Italy's once proud Corpo di spedizione italiano in Russia. The most elite Italian troops, the Alpini, still remained, however, and they had no intention of meeting the same fate as their brothers-in-arms. On January 17th, their commander, General Gabriele Nasci, ordered a daring breakout to the west, supported by a handful of German armored vehicles. In nine days, they reached the hamlet of Nikolayevka, where the 48th Guards Rifle Division stood in their way.
Attacker: Italian / German (2a Divisione alpina "Tridentina," 5o Reggimento alpini and ad hoc stragglers)
Defender: Russian (Elements of the 48th Guards Rifle Division)

2025-04-07(D) David Garvin vs Nick Italian / German win
2025-04-04(A) Simon Staniforth vs IM Italian / German winThe at start 2:1 squad advantage for the Italians proved to be telling despite the Russians having mainly Elite troops. Most of the VC Locations were taken before the Russian reinforcements entered and they didn’t have the combat power to recapture sufficient territory. KV proved invulnerable KOing a couple of the StuGs but the Italian ATGs were fortunate against the T-70 platoon taking them both out early which did help the infantry move forward. Used the Banzai to scurry a few squads down to the board edge and exit 5VP, also able to exit a HT with dm Mtr/crew for another 5VP. Sure I enjoyed it more than my opponent who was on the back foot pretty much the whole game.
