Overview:

After the swift and total Axis victory over Greece, Bulgaria laid claim to Thrace and Macedonia. Throughout the winter of 1941-42, small bandit groups began to emerge as the nucleus of a fledgling resistance movement. On March 29th, two such bands looking to augment their meager armory raided a Bulgarian encampment in the Rhodopes Mountains. They made off with a number of weapons including light and tripod-mounted machineguns. A Bulgarian infantry company, after sorting itself out, set off in pursuit of the bandits. . .

2026-01-11(D) Diane Spangler vs Lawrence Spangler Bulgarian win
2021-09-24(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Kai Glanz Partisan winLooks horrible for the Bulgarians who have to cross a lot of open ground. This made them advance a bit too slow and by turn 5 they were suddenly in a great hurry. A quick rush over the fields did of course yield some casualties but a surprising amount of men got close to the objective area, not many enough though. Partisan win.
2020-12-12(A) Doba Serge vs Pascal Boileau Partisan win
2020-12-12(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba Partisan winA good scenario for learning patience in ASL. Captured SW and units with a low range of fire make the Partisans think two times before taking a shot... Chance was on both sides but ultimately for me in the last turn with some Bulgarian units pinned unable to move in APh. It was a very close and thrilling end game.
2020-06-12(D) Raoul Duke vs MB Partisan winRather uninteresting overall. Bulgarian setup is 90% scripted, and the Partisans don't have many defensive options. For the Partisans, it's sit, take -2 shots, hide when you can. There just isn't much room to maneuver. If the Partisans' machine guns refuse to malfunction, the Bulgarians will have a VERY hard time.
