Battle of Pindus

**Battle of Pindus** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Mein General, who could have imagined we'd be meeting back up in Albania, of all places! Regardless it's good to see you.

Our Italian allies have been spurned into action by German successes, and we've been invited to observe some of their operations. Their winter timing is certainly unusual, to say the least.

We will be conducting the operation from a command post in Permeti. This will ensure our direct control of all Axis forces on the field.

Now then, let's see what our friends are up to, ja?

**Primary Objective: Control at least 3 Victory Hexes at the end of the scenario.**

**Bonus Objective: Raid Metsovo.**

**Bonus Objective: Eliminate 5 Greek Commanders.**

Hmm, looks they're engaged in quite a dangerous plan by attacking through the Pindus Mountains in the winter.

A small reserve is in place to protect their rear.

But I don't see any forces covering or even watching their flanks...

It's up to you, to continue to push the Italians forward or not.

I suggest we deploy our German bodyguards though, just in case. Our deployment is limited, but the bad weather and extremely rough terrain is unsuitable for our aircraft and panzers anyways. A lot of infantry and a lot of artillery deployments will be needed here.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

**Historically, the Battle of Pindus was a disasterous offensive for the Italians. The Greeks had been preparing their defenses ever since the Italians moved into Albania, and thus the Italian forces met resistance much heavier than they expected.**

**In short order, the Italian attackers found their advance blocked and position rapidly encircled. This, among other failures, crippled Italian units across the region. Sensing this weakness, the Greeks rushed to launch a counteroffensive that immediately pushed the Italians back.**

**In less than a month, not only had the Italian offensive completely stopped, they now found themselves being pushed back further and further. It was not long before they had even retreated behind their original Albanian starting positions.**
