Introduction

The Italians hastily erected a new and shorter defensive line hinged on Hill 217, a long crest line that shielded the two headquarters villages of Filonovo and Gadjuce (off the map, south of Board 14) from the enemy's view. This crest roughly coincided with the base of the Werch Mamon salient. This time the Soviet attack came from northwest. The company of the Ravenna Division holding the village of Krassno Orekowo (north of Board 8) was quickly forced out and the Soviets flooded eastward.

Conclusion

It soon became clear that this time the Soviets were trying to gain control of Hill 217 and cut off Italian troops that had re-deployed and begun entrenching a mile to the north. The Italian defense fought bravely around a few strong points in the artillery positions. Thanks to the arrival of divisional reserves, the enemy attack was gradually halted. Reinforcements from the neighboring Cosseria Division swung the balance toward the Italians who then forced the Soviets attackers to withdraw.

Additional Notes

The Italian major should be a Maggiore, the Italian captains should be Capitano. Artillery is from the Ravenna and Cosseria divisions, therefore upgrade 75/27 howitzers to 75/18 howitzers, as per special rule 16.
