Overview:

A declaration over "Radio X-MAS" on April 25th stated that all X-MAS units were forbidden to disband. Some took this to mean that surrender was out of the question. Some of the more ardent X-MAS headed north towards the Southern Tyrol where it was rumored that the Germans were making a last stand. A X-MAS battlegroup on the morning of 30 April discovered their crossing of the Leogra River blocked by partisans entrenched on the far bank. Vicious fighting ensued and then the Americans turned up. . .
Attacker: Italian (Elements of the Xª Flottiglia MAS)

2022-04-23(D) Richard Jenulis vs Dave Reenstra Italian winBitter Ender 2022 - Italian mini
The Italians entered all their forces along their left flank, forcing the Partisans to reposition their forces to counter the quick exit win. The Americans come in and have to battle the Italian read guard to stop the exit. All three Italian PF failed to hit their mark, but one Sherman was stunned and the other recalled by a snipper just as it crossed the river to cut off the Italian exit. The Italian were able to exit the 10 EVP needed (+ another CVP of American losses earned) on the last turn for the win. Good scenario.
2022-02-22(D) Andy Bagley vs Gordon Jupp Italian winExcellent scenario, really enjoyed it, lots of action and movement. The Italians need to move fast to cross the shallow river and exit past the small Partisan force, whilst leaving a rearguard to hold up the Americans who are pursuing them. In our game the rearguard with MMG and 10-2 leader set up with supporting units in the board 33 buildings, and no amount of American pressure could dislodge them. This meant they could also fire (from level 1) on the Americans advancing on either flank, and I took casualties as a result. The American tanks did better but one finally fell to a PF shot and the other malf’ed its MA. In the end it could not have been closer: On their last APh, the Italians managed to exit an 8-0 leader to get precisely the number of VPs required.
2021-10-01(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Francesco Berucci American / Partisan winMy opponent rushed the majority of italians to the stream, there was just 1 and half squad to keep the american at bay, I judged it too few, but it almost worked. Almost.
2019-01-13(D) Lorenzo Marinaro vs Francesco Berucci American / Partisan winGreat luck on my dice-rolls gave me a tight victory on the last turn. Hard fought scenario with interesting possibilities.
2019-01-12(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Alberto Biserni American / Partisan winThis is a scenario the italian must play with pedal to the metal, rushing to the river while keeping the chasing americans at bay, since you need to 3stack those infantry units with a leader in order to push them forward some K/KIA shot of the partisan MMG can ruin your day, but it must be done. Interesting situation.
