This one was play solo and I am glad I did. This one and scenario #17 have the Italians surrendering in mass which makes it impossible for the Italians to win, it will be just a matter of time. This one gives the Italians some support weapons, but they surrender too.

Here is the run down in two acts, first act the Rolls Royce and the MkIVB charge forward and get thirty Italian steps to surrender in the first two turns. With the road cleared they move for the 105mm on the hill so the British tanks with AT can take on the guns. In this fight 4 steps of Rolls Royces are knocked out, before the guns surrender. At this point the British tanks pull back out of range of the remaining infantry and await the heavier tanks.

Act two, the tanks arrive and drive up the road to the Italian tanks that have dugin in the objective hex. The British portee move up the east side to setup cross fire if needed. It wasn't, the A9 and A13s move into AT range and open fire. All the Italian tanks are destroyed. The remaining BERS try to move toward the objective hex but is hit by bombardment fire from the 25lbrs and the remaining Rolls Royce and MkIVb's screening the A9's and A13's. The British gain the objective hex without much resistance as most of the Italians gave up.

I could see the game possibly going the other way if the Italian gunners don't surrender and can hit the British scout tanks. But they will run once the tanks get close.
