Description: Before WWII the region around Gottschee was a German enclave, populated largely by people considered to be ethnic Germans who were more or less forcibly relocated to northern Slovenia by 1942 as the Gottschee region were given to the Italians.*
*
By the end of 1943, the Italians knocked out of the war, the area was again under German authority. It was at this time a major attack by Partizan units was mounted against the town and the nearby mine.*
*
The defence of the town rested on some German forces and Slovenian auxiliaries who retreated to the old Ausperger Castle where they barricaded themselves, hoping for the arrival of reinforcements.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the German side.*
