At 5.30 the Aussies went up there full swing, at 5.30 everything went against them as well.. I've never in all my PG games seen a luckier side than the Italians in this game. Accurate artillery. Morale checks? Djeezz no problem! Recovery, even without leaders? Piece of cake!

On and on it went for 12 turns. The Aussied were struggling for control of the trenches and despite the fact that the odds were against them they managed to fill 3 AT-ditches, control all but three entrenchment and eliminate/surrender more than half of the Italian OOB. It looked for a long time that a draw was imminent, but at 8.00 a 30 strength artillery barrage made an end to all Australian hopes. A DR2 was rolled which X'ed the last steps needed to make it an Italian win. The 2119 trench had by then been impossible to occupy (tactical blunder), so no draw could have been gained by the Australians.

Conclusion: Very nice scenario because it's very balanced. It comes down to the last few turns.
