Italians set up with units spread out in each town hex. Slovaks entered from the north in an attempt to grab the two major towns. Slovaks lost three steps approaching town but eliminated eight steps of Italians and secured northern two-hex town in two assaults with good rolls. The Slovaks then regrouped for an attack on the four hex town. They approached from the west, using the woods as cover. In the latter turns the Italians won the initiative and were able to prevent the Slovaks from attempting a strong assault. The final score; Italians 16, Slovaks 15. This scenario had me biting my fingernails all the way till the end. Definitely worthy of playing again...and again...
