This game played over skype against Wayne Baumber in 1 session. First battle I have played from this supplement and my fears were confirmed as MB's mighty Poles cleave through weedy Italians. The game is based on a rumour rather than an actual battle and in real-life, the Italians never made an attack. This scenario amply showed me why ! The Poles in Britain's service are in the desert and set-up on a hill. They are high-moraled and very well officered. As well as hill and morale advantage, they can all set up entrenched and are protected by minefields and wire. Its horrible ! The Italians probed in the darkness for a weak spot, but with the Polish hill-top quite small, they are able to fill their lines ready for any Italian attack. The Italians finally throw themselves at some of the Polish positions, believing them to be their weakest points, but unfortunately, the Poles fought better in close combat and continued to rebuff any Italian attempts. After 10 turns of utter frustration, getting a good kicking, and seeing that any headway made was at terrible expense, the Italians retired after seeing that the Poles were continuously getting the jump on them each turn. If the Italian wins this scenario in the future, I'd be fascinated to see how it was done. My effort was simply atrocious ! |

Wait...you lost a scenario? Even with all the 2s you roll for morale and 12s for fire?
Note that in the last line he implies that it's nigh unwinnable for his side. ;-)

Naughty man Andrew,
Despite having some form of non-experienced rank on this niche site, do not presume to be my spokesman .. ha-ha !
The Italians have already won a play of this scenario.
What I said was - that if the Italians won in the future, I'd be fascinated to know how. This is due to the unfortunate fact that the Italian winner never posted a AAR.
And now ladies and gentleman I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out to all those sour bitter old men that have had the honour GIVEN them to play against me, that Vinny NEVER bemoans good luck to an opponent or bad luck to himself in AAR's. Yes, check them out if you dare. I leave that common theme to the defeated generals left strewn across the globe ! (JOSHUA.G lol)
