Overview:

Hitler planned to attack both Yugoslavia and Greece, to secure the Axis southern flank prior to the invasion of the Soviet Union. This would also bail out the Italian armies in Albania that had been forced to retreat by a determined Greek winter offensive. Hitler urged Mussolini to take particular care of the Albanian front to prevent any link up between the Yugoslav and Greek armies. The Italian 9th Army was stationed opposite the Yugoslav frontier in expectation of just such a move, since the Italian commanders speculated the Yugoslav 3rd Army might decide on a Morire in Belleza (Death or Glory) strategy against them. The Cuneense Division was tasked with capturing the border towns to preempt any Yugoslav counter-invasion. Early on 9th, a company pushed into the northern outskirts of the town of Dibra. In the afternoon, Major Annoni personally led the assault company to seize the remaining high ground within Dibra.

2021-02-19(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Alessandro Levarato Yugoslavian winItalians decided to go for the center but the front was too small, it bogged down on wire and che jugos were able to beat it back quite easily.
This is a classic and well balanced scenario that every ASLer should play.
2021-02-19(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Alessandro Levarato Yugoslavian winWe played another game back to back, this time the italian attack was better prepared and with the help of 3 SMOKE made a lot of road, unfortunately for my opponent a CH of his mortar on my MMG wasn't enough, his 10-2 leading the way was encircled and then smashed to pieces by jugos and a well placed GUN did the rest. By turn 3 there were more GO defender's squads than the attacker, and we called off this excellent scenario.
2020-03-23(A) Teddy Horan vs Yugoslavian Yugoslavian win
2016-11-19(A) Jeff B vs Elmo Menon Italian winGreat scenario, though if the Italians lose their mortar early and are not able to suppress/destroy the Yugoslavian guns they could have a tough road. I was also lucky enough to still have both FTs functioning at game end (a rare feat), and they were key to paving the way. As it was I still had to sweat the Yugoslavians getting last move, and there was a fierce firefight on the hill. I could easily see this one slipping from the Italian's grasp early.
