Two full Soviet Armies with hundreds of tanks launch themselves at the Italian positions. After several days of fighting, they achieve a breakthrough, which they rush to exploit. Encircled remnants of two corps of the Italian 8th Army embark upon a desperate trek to escape the encirclement. To the north, the Italian Alpini Corps, consisting of the best troops of the Italian Army, a match for the troops of any nation, stand firm, resisting numerous Soviet attacks. Unfortunately, in January, a second Soviet offensive against the Hungarian 2nd Army to the Italian north breaks through the Hungarian lines. With breakthroughs to their north and south, the valiant Alpini are surrounded and they too must retreat to avoid destruction.
