This is a game I played against fellow conscript Anders at Battlefront UK back before the Italy compilations came out, a 'last hurrah' for my Dogs and Devils First Special Service Force. Anders had his DM Panzer Kampgruppe. My list was my Corrivalry list:

Anders had Panzer IVs, Jagdpanthers, Ostwinds and Panzergrenadier Kampgruppe starting on the table. The scenario was Hasty Attack, and I elected to become Auto-attack with my preliminary bombardment.
 |
| The table, with lovely Italian buildings |
 |
| My initial deployment, with my infantry headed towards his left hand objective |
 |
| Panzer IVs cover one objective, and infantry the other |
 |
| The preliminary bombardment ranges in on the Jagdpanthers |
 |
| But does nothing but cover them in smoke |
 |
| They move forward along with the 2iC Panzer IV |
 |
| Panzer IVs mill around the objective |
 |
| Infantry and the Cannon platoon moves up my left flank |
 |
| The other infantry move up the middle |
 |
| Artillery ranges in on the Jagdpanthers, but are ineffective |
 |
| Jagdpanther advances |
 |
| AA sneaks forward |
 |
| Blurry Panzer IVs.... |
 |
| MG shots and AA shots pin the infantry in the centre, killing several teams |
 |
| And again, down to the last stand |
 |
| Stuarts arrive from reserve, and head down the right flank |
 |
| The other infantry platoon moves up into the woods by the left hand objective |
 |
| Recon arrive on my left flank |
 |
| Artillery ranges in on the Panzer IVs |
 |
| Jagdpanthers and the 2iC redeploy to engage the Stuarts |
 |
| The 2iC takes out a Stuart |
 |
| Ostwinds move forward to harass the artillery |
 |
| The cannon platoon tries to move round the flank of the Panzer IVs, but do no damage |
 |
| Recon sneak forward and shoot their 37mm guns into the Ostwinds |
 |
| I finally bail a Jagdpanther |
 |
| I attempt an assault on the Panzer IVs holding the objectives, but am sent back by defensive fire |
 |
| Stuarts get behind the 2iC |
 |
| Panzer IVs make short work of the M3 GMCs |
 |
| One Panzer IV is taken out in return fire |
 |
| Jagdpanthers punish the Stuarts |
 |
| Panthers come on from reserve to make sure the objective remains secure |
 |
| The 2iC gets into an assault with a Panzer IV, I needed a 2+ to kill him, and rolled a one.... |
 |
| Panthers machine gun the infantry, and we called it there. |
6-1 to Anders. On reflection, defending would have been more sensible, but I had hoped to put him on the back foot.
