As the British XIII Corps advanced up the eastern half of the Italian peninsula past Foggia, it was opposed only by small numbers of German fallschirmjager conducting delaying actions. One such group of paratroopers, holding a blocking position astride a mountain road, drew the attention of Italian partisans led by Nicola Sernia, a former NCO in the Frontier Guard. Determined to help rid their country of the hated Nazis, the partisans decided that they must attack the Germans to clear the way for the British.

Good German defense from the heights kept my Partisans broken with every step they tried to take. Attack fizzled out by Turn 3.

Fun scenario! My Partisans came from four directions and by Turn 4 had broken or eliminated all the German MMC's. Lot of close combat and some interesting tactical choices that have to be made. Enjoyable game.
