Employing a massive invasion force of eight divisions, well over 200,000 men with full compliments of artillery, armor, and the warplanes of the ''Regia Aeronautica'', which were launched from Albania, the Italians advanced along the Greek coast and mountain passes towards Kalpaki.

Despite fierce Greek resistance, the invaders established a bridgehead over the Kalamas River. However, rapidly rising rivers and mud tracks slowed down the Italian advance, with the Greek defenders falling back into fortified positions.

In December, for his part in the failed invasion General Pietro Badoglio was fired and replaced by General Ugo Cavallero as commander of forces in the Greek-Albanian theater of operations. Cavallero mounted a solid defense in the winter of December-February though his ''Primamera'' Offensive failed to defeat Greeks in March.

In January 1941 it was clear in Athens and the British Middle East Command in Egypt that without British Commonwealth reinforcements, the Greek gains in Albania could be lost, or Greece conquered in a German invasion for the Greek commanders had left the main defences along the Metaxas Line in northern Greece seriously undermanned.

In January 1941 with the bulk of Greek Army pinned down in Albania, it was clear in Athens and the British Middle East Command in Egypt that without British Commonwealth reinforcements, the Greek gains in Albania could be lost, or Greece conquered in a German invasion for the Greek commanders had left the main defences along the Metaxas Line in northern Greece seriously undermanned.
