The four scenarios include FT05 (Trappola), an Italian vs. partisan action, and FT06 (Macédoine Balkanique), which features Bulgarians and Soviets against Germans. One of the scenarios, FT08 (L’ultime Traîtrise), was later reprinted as an official ASL Journal scenario, J76 (Ultimate Treachery), which has become a popular tournament scenario.
