This is a small scenario on a little known action. I mostly played if for a chance to have Germans fight Italians.

In general the Germans are very tough. The mountain troops have better fire and movement ratings, better morale and much better leaders. The Italian player will be fighting a delaying action and loosing a lot of units. At first this seemed like a walkover for the Germans as they could easily assault and destroy Italian positions. Late in the game it became obvious that victory would not be so easy. The Italians get 10 victory for holding a road hex and with the sacrifice of many Italian units it should be possible to slow the Germans enough to at least pull off a draw.
