2017-10-15(A) Ruben Rigillo vs Francesco Berucci Commonwealth winThird of Campaign
2015-03-18(D) fabrizio da pra vs Alessandro Cunego, Franco Merci Commonwealth winTwo turn played so far,
the German came down concentrated and quite far from the Commonwelth forces and took only light losses (2 squads).
They managed to rearm 60% of the forces on turn 2 while losing 1 squad and a couple of broky to a timid Commonwelth counterattak (better try to kill them while they are still 2-2-8).
A very nice scenario with a great historical feeling.
2013-12-31(D) nathan wegener vs Peter W DrawStarted this one - German drop went well but early Brit fire had cut down a couple of squads. Interrupted by FOBA and didnt get back to it....
2011-12-08(D) Jeff Coleman vs Fred Ingram Commonwealth win
2011-12-08(A) Fred Ingram vs Jeff Coleman Commonwealth winMy paradrop went well. I only broke a couple units on landing. 2 additional turns were spent running around gathering weapons and arms canisters. Then the assault on the Bofors gun and the plaza in Pyrgos. Things were looking up till the next to last turn when the commonwealth troops stiffened and the paratroopers withered. FUN though.
