#210: Italian/Greek War - TWiE War on the Southern Front

Albania, Oct 28th 1940: Mussolini wanted a conquest to show Hitler and the rest of the world that the Italian Army was a capable force. With much bravado, the Italian Army invaded Greece in late 1940. Over 6 divisions' worth of men spearheaded the invasion. Initially taken by surprise, Greek outposts were driven back; but the invasion lost its momentum and stalled. The Hellenic Army rallied to the cause and within a month the Greeks were counter-attacking, forcing the Italians back into Albania. Designer Note: This is a longer scenario than we normally would include, as it covered periods when there was little action, but we felt players would want to try it, although gauging meaningful victory levels for it was challenging.
