Overview:

Since the collapse of Italy there has been a daily increase in partisan activity in the area around the Istria Peninsula. These partisan groups had established strong, and in some cases fortified, positions all around the peninsula. They tended not to attack but hold their positions stubbornly and had recently intensified their artillery fire along the mountain and coastal roads. The reinforced Kampfgruppe SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 1 Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler was moved to northeastern Italy along the border with Yugoslavia in preparation to launch a rapid three-phase operation, with the objective to sweep clean the Istria peninsula of partisans.
Attacker: German (SS) (Kampfgruppe SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 1, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler)
Defender: Partisan (Communist Antifacist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia Party)

2025-12-20(A) Jeff B vs Scott Sherer Partisan win2 hrsI decided to try and push across the bridge and into town hell be damned. I figured it would've taken three turns to try and coordinate an attack with proper smoke placement, and that would only allow the partisans time to reposition and possibly (probably if within LOS) take out some of my smoke makers. Well, it didn't work. I lost a sIG, three laden HTs, three squads, my 9-1, a FT, and a DC. In other words, 28 VP on my first turn. To Scott's credit he had a very good defense, with nice overlapping fields of fire. He also had extremely good luck with his MOLs and guns. He managed to push me over the CVP limit already at the end of the turn. But silly us didn't realize it until the middle of Turn 4! Which was too bad too, because by then it was actually becoming an interesting game, with both of his guns having broken down and me getting a toehold across the bridge. I think it would've turned into a halfway decent finish (at least until his armor arrived). I question how many people actually realize how terribly expensive it is to have vehicles cross a bridge with even one wreck on it, let alone a few. This includes the designer, as this is the second LCP scenario I've played where some well-placed knockouts ruined the game. Not my favorite type of scenario by any means.
