| 2023-02-01 | (A) Paolo Cariolato | vs | Federico Corso | Russian win | Russian stayed out of italian LOS on turn 1 but were able to get an 8 hexes LOS with concealment units to an italian one, the 10 units Human wave that ensued was able to pass the river and get to the wood in the advance phase with a couple of units. In the meantime, no access to italian OBA and the radio observer was first broken and then killed by a sniper. The russian sniper took another italian leader and the killer MG stack led by the 9-2 wreak havoc into the italian lines. My opponent conceaded with good reasons. A scenario not for everyone, The defence has to be prepared very well, and you cannot get the attack wrong. A difficult scenario. | ||

| 2022-08-27 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | Italian win | What is there to say about Red Don? It's slaughter on ice and so it was in our game. The Italian OBA wreaked the primary Russian attack. By Turn 3, the Russians were out of juice and gave the concession. It was a red dawn. |
