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 focus of this scenario is the first 16 day (8 game turns) where the Italian Army had the momentum.
