Overview:

In July 1941 Mussolini sent the 62,000-strong CSIR (Italian Expeditionary Corps) to the Eastern Front. Its three divisions and attached troops linked up with the Wehrmacht in Romania, where the corps vehicular transport was pooled in order to completely motorize the 9th “Pasubio” Division. This unit, reinforced with corps artillery and motorcycle troops, was ordered to advance quickly to the Bug River, then turn south to cut off the Red Army crossing points. In one typical small-unit action during this period, elements of the division’s advance guard had to force a crossing of a small river in order to continue their advance.
Attacker: Italian (1º Battaglione, 80º "Roma" Reggimento Fanteria)

2022-03-04(D) Paul Legg vs Martin Vicca Italian winHeroes 2022 - Completely failed to grasp the victory conditions. The bridge garrison failed to hold back the horde. I pushed forward with the village troops thinking I had to have view to all the road/bridge hexes. When the tank malf'd its MA and then disabled it it was game over.
2022-03-04(D) Ian Morris vs Jim Bishop Italian winThis looked to be all over by turn 3 - a spawny LOS from my bridge mortar to his fording group broke everybody, while the rest of the bridge garrison sold their lives dearly to delay his crossing. The village garrison gained good positions overlooking Y10 and dug in. Nevertheless Jim worked his way forward and eventually sent troops CXing to attack my tankette, which berserked the first group but declined to sustain on the next squad for fear of gacking the MA. He passed the PAATC, and took me down on a 3 ! Gutted, but well played Jim.
