Overview:
After a hard struggle, the Red Army had succeeded in establishing a significant bridgehead at Serafimovich, on the west bank of the Don. The German XVII Corps and the Italian XXXV Army Corps were assigned to a joint counterattack. At the crack of dawn, after a short artillery preparation and number of Stuka bombings, the confidant Italians attacked. Despite a hard defense, and significant Italian losses, the Russian lines were broken, and the defenders were forced to retreat. Later that day, the order was given that the secondary target of the attack, Kotovskij, was to be assaulted.Attacker: Italian (Battaglione Alpini "Vestone," 6° Reggimento Alpini and LXVII Battaglione Bersaglieri Corazzato)
Defender: Russian (14th Guards Rifle Division)

| 2023-01-17 | (A) Camille Garek | vs | Douglas Leslie | Russian win | Italian vs Russian is not a common one. A bunch of tankettes and at least the ATR are useful. Open ground to cover. A lot of interesting things. | ||
| 2021-08-29 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | Italian win | Russian guns are powerful but setup severely limits their use. Not sure if it was bad tactics or bad luck but the Russians never looked like winning. Lots of boxcars and snake eyes but only 1 sniper activation (to break an Italian tank crew that survived CS2). Italians achieved victory conditions by turn 4 and had completely cleared the town a turn later. | |||

| 2020-09-07 | (D) John Smith | vs | Scott | Russian win | A nice little scenario featuring the very soft Italians against the Russians with a handful of light tanks thrown in. The key to this one (for the Italians) is to either push to the buildings as fast as possible, or cut off the Russian reinforcements. It's more than likely the Russians will set up their 2 ART guns right behind the 2 hex wooden building and use it as their last stand. If they are able to get reinforcements up into the woods/buildings the Italians are going to have a hard time of it. The Italian player should waste not time chasing the Russian armor and should focus all their firepower on cutting off the Russians. |
