Looking for opponent(s) to playtest a CMAK scenario, I would like to try the map from either side.
Reading this old thread by DVC I thought, what a great idea! So I made a map / scenario to play test using his idea. The bulk of each sides units are included in the scenario by default, then each player picks his supporting units.
(Thanks for the inspiration DVC!

Italy
October 1943
Allied Assault 45+ turns.
Allied forces, moving inland from their established beach heads, face new obstacles as they move further into the Italian interior.
The lead British force has come to a halt after encountering German resistance as they tried to cross the Fiora River.
Enemy units are positioned somewhere on the far side of both of two bridges crossing the river. There are several fording areas in this sector, some may be shallow enough to support AFV's.
Veteran Canadian Recon infantry have been called to the front to find out what they can about the Axis defenders, and lead the way over the river. Beyond the Fiora, amongst the local vineyards are several small villages nestled below a steeply rising ridge line. Atop this ridge sits the town of Stranbruno. At the cliffs edge sits Saint Agostino's church, with a commanding view across the valley below.
The allies must cross the river and take control of the bridge heads, then move into the valley. There are sure to be German positions throughout the valley that will need to be destroyed.
Stranbruno will need to be captured, along with the smaller village at the foot of the cliff.
Allied artillery has just finished heavy bombardments of several suspected enemy positions, including the bridge heads and Stranbruno itself. Smoke is rising from atop the ridge so they must have hit something.
Both sides have been working hard to gather intelligence about the enemy, and have a rough idea of what they will be facing.
Suspected German Forces Identified in the region:(unconfirmed)
German Fanaticism set to Veterans 25%.
Suspected British Forces Identified in the region: (unconfirmed)
As a gesture of the holiday spirit, I have organized the default units on map, so setting up will be painless for players.
View North East from the Allied setup area.
View South West from German Held town of Terzi.
View up to the Stranbruno high ground from the West Bridge.
View up to the Stranbruno high ground from the East Bridge.
