Overview:

Determined to present Hitler with a fait accompli in the Balkans, Mussolini launched another ill-advised, ill-planned and ill-informed campaign, this time from Albania into the mountains of Epirus, Pindus, and Macedonia, just in time for winter. The Italian offensive was launched on October 28th in a driving rain that negated any air cover. . .

2023-01-23(D) J. Brach vs Italian winInteresting scenario. This is an exercise in fast infantry movement tactics (under fire!). The ASLSK version of "Fighting Withdrawal".

It seems that it is very hard for the Italians to win against a competent Greek pursuit, but I can see that the scenario would become much more balanced if BOTH balance options are taken: the board shortened to A-Y AND the Greek reinforcements entering no later than turn 3.

2022-11-30(A) Damien Edele vs Chris Greek winWe played this scenario with full ASL rules. This was a fun one, but very hard for the Italian side, especially with the Greek reinforcements.
2022-07-01(A) Alberto Pomar vs David Greek win
2022-06-08(D) Shane Pask vs Greek winAfter playing full ASL for a while, it is hard to remember which rules to ignore when playing SK scenarios. This may affect play balance but in this scenario Italians would be pushed even if there were no Greeks opposing them. It is a long way to go in 6 turns. Even with some poor rolls by the Greeks on the last turn, the Italians could only manage 6 VP.
