Scenario FiAx020

I wanted to play an unsual group of armies who don’t get much attention in the history books, so what better scenario then this one. Slovak Army/ Partisans vs. the Mussolini’s Italian RSI.

This was a nice small size scenario, with a small unit count, short scenario, only 16 turns, easy to follow victory conditions, pretty straight forward all the way around.

Now the tricky part, to assault city hexes with Partisan Armies with no real supporting heavy weapons. The only saving grace for the Slovak Army, was that the Italian RSI, had such a low morale, that they could easily break and head for the hills or out of town in this case.

The victory conditions were points for eliminating steps and controlling town/city hexes. RSI sets up in town hexes & the Slovaks try to take them, both sides try not to lose too many steps as well.

It turned into a pretty close battle after all, neither side could make a very big punch but in the end, the Slovak’s morale gave them the upper hand but by a small margin.

The Slovaks lost 2 steps but gained 9 victory points in town hexes controlled. The RSI lost 5 steps and retained control of 8 victory point in town hexes. Slovak wins, 14 points to 10 points. In part because the Slovaks get three VP’s for control of town hexes where the RSI only get 2 per hex!

I used the Black-shirt leader counters from the AP download, as I made them a couple of years ago to go along with the Fronte Russo module. I am glade I finally got to use them in a scenario.
