Scenario DeRa001

Indian Setup:

SW hill: slightly less than half the Indian force, one MG unit Entrenched. SE hill: slightly more than half the Indian force, one MG unit Entrenched NE hill: the faraway small hill has just one MG unit entrenched

Italian approach, turns 1-6: moved in force along the SE edge of board 5. The BAN units ran North than turned West to flank. The bulk of the FAN units approached the hill cautiously, unstacked, although Indian MG and IF strength are weak. Still, with only a morale of 7, you don't want to take chances early in a 30 turn match. FAN units were able to approach the hill in force, despite some DIS and DEM results. BAN units assaulted the Entrenchment. Took 2 step losses but cleared it.

Indians respond with mortar fire (inneffective) and the Bren (taken out at 5 hexes by an IT 65mm that rolled an 11!). That hurt.

Turns 7-14: FAN and BAN units mopped up the SE hill. Quite a few of the Indian units (4) escape to the SW hill.

Turns 15-16: I've setup for an attack on the big SW hill. However, the small hill is only lightly defended and the Italians could win this scenario by holding what they have and taking the other hill, so I may yet turn and do that. There is enough time.

Ended with an Italian Minor win (2 hills, less than 10 step losses).
