Overview:
Italy's invasion of the Kingdom of Greece on 28 October initially resulted in an advance of several miles and the general withdrawal of light Greek forces at the border. Bad weather, poor roads, and general lack of infrastructure such as bridges held up the Italian forces more so than the Greek troops., who had only one division in the area. Still, few expected that the small Greek army would be able to hold the field against Italy's vaulted "eight million bayonets." Preparations on the Italian side left much to be desired, however, while Greek intelligence had been able to generally pinpoint the date of the attack, which then came as no surprise. By 2 November, the Ferrara Division reinforced by armor from the Centauro Division were finally nearing their first major objective, the critical road junction town of Kalpaki.Attacker: Italian (23rd Infantry Division (Ferrara) and 131st Armored Division (Centauro))
Defender: Greek (8th Infantry Division)
