In order to escape a bit of this bitterly cold Canadian winter, we played a non-historical scenario placed in sunny Italy in the spring of '44 over the weekend. It was basically a retread of the Somewhere in Normandy scenario that I posted last year, moved to Italy, using the Battlefront WWII ruleset. It was played in 20mm on a 4'X 4' table. The full AAR can be found here: link Here are a few photos of the action.

Wow!

Glad you enjoyed it. The table was fun to build – I built up the underpinnings so that the terrain dropped about 18" from the ridge to the river. It was nice to get my newly minted Gerbirgsjager into the fray.

Great report, Bill. I have relatives who grew up in Italy during the war. I've been to their homes. Take it from me, you nailed the terrain. Outstanding work.
