Overview:

Late on 8 September, the same day the armistice between Italy and the Allies was announced, elements of the 433rd Medium Tank Battalion in Fidenza were ordered to move east to Parma. There, in an attempt to keep the Germans from occupying key positions in the city, they were to link up with another force coming north from Langhirano. Early on the morning of the 9th the column from Fidenza was working its way through the city to the bridges spanning the Parma River, hoping to establish a bridgehead east of it. Suddenly a group of German motorcyclists appeared – but the tankers declined to open fire on them. After a few moments the cyclists roared off, increasing the anxiety of the Italians who felt a confrontation was now imminent. Nevertheless they proceeded on toward the bridges. As the Ponte Emberto bridge came into view, the column commander spotted an AT gun on it.

2020-04-13(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German (SS) winThink this scenario should be called Too Late, Too Little. Good shots from the guns and two of my tanks crashed into the roadblocks, got immobilized and failed to remove the blockades. Unlucky. I think the best approach might be for the Italians to hang back, smoke the east side of the canal, and try to swarm one of the bridges. It is not easy on the Italians.
2019-06-02(A) Shane Pask vs Italian winAll over by turn 3. Germans had the worst luck. Italians concentrated on one bridge covered by the PSK and one gun. The PSK broke on its first shot, the gun fired once and missed then malfunctioned and broke completely. The roadblock stopped one tank (whose CE crew leader was then shot and killed -66). The second tank busted through and opened the floodgates for the others to follow.
