Overview:

A declaration over "Radio X-MAS" on April 25th stated that all X-MAS units were forbidden to disband. Some took this to mean that surrender was out of the question. Some of the more ardent X-MAS headed north towards the Southern Tyrol where it was rumored that the Germans were making a last stand. A X-MAS battlegroup on the morning of 30 April discovered their crossing of the Leogra River blocked by partisans entrenched on the far bank. Vicious fighting ensued and then the Americans turned up. . .
Attacker: Italian (Elements of the Xª Flottiglia MAS)

2024-12-07(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs John Garlic American / Partisan winThis is a very good scenario. Maneuver for both sides and I can see severl ways on how to Attack / Defend.
2024-12-07(A) John Garlic vs Tuomo Lukkari American / Partisan winExcellent scenario with plenty of options for both sides.

2024-09-05(A) Will Willow vs Andy Beaton Italian win
2022-10-25(A) Pascal Boileau vs Philippe Duchon American / Partisan winAn entertaining scenario. The Italians were on the good side of the river since the Partisans were quite ineffective. Conversely, during the second part of the scenario, the American shots across the river were deadly. None PF showed up and the AFV achieved the job and finished the Italian troops before they exited the map...
2022-07-10(D) Andy Goldin vs Doug Bush Italian winHuman Wave 2022. I chose to defend on the far side of the river with my MMG /8-1 on the high ground. Doug's elite Italians attacked on the left, center, and south with his main effort coming across the open area on board 33, observation of which is largely blocked by the elevated road. His base of fire in the center, led by his 10-2, brushed aside my Partisans defending the hilltop while the other Italians moved along the board edges for the exit.
By the time the Americans entered, his forces were crossing the stream. A small rearguard slowed my movement, but I still managed to get some Americans to the water's edge in time to take some shots at the backs of the elite Italians. Fire from the tank I placed on the elevated road got some good effects, but he was able to rout his Italians toward the board edge, rally and exit for the win.
