Overview:

Determined to present Hitler with a fait accompli in the Balkans, Mussolini launched another ill-advised, ill-planned and ill-informed campaign, this time from Albania into the mountains of Epirus, Pindus, and Macedonia, just in time for winter. The Italian offensive was launched on October 28th in a driving rain that negated any air cover. . .

2023-07-31(A) Justin DiSabatino vs Self Greek winA very interesting scenario to play with the Italians having to sprint across the map in order to have any chance of winning. A few squads were left to break up the Greeks as they came on board to slow pursuit, which did help, but the Greek reinforcements came on as early as possible, letting the Greeks set up to net the Italians as they attempted to run across the grain field. The Italians managed only 4 VPs, but using the Italian balance might make the difference.

2023-01-23(D) J. Brach vs Italian winInteresting scenario. This is an exercise in fast infantry movement tactics (under fire!). The ASLSK version of "Fighting Withdrawal".

It seems that it is very hard for the Italians to win against a competent Greek pursuit, but I can see that the scenario would become much more balanced if BOTH balance options are taken: the board shortened to A-Y AND the Greek reinforcements entering no later than turn 3.
