Italian Shock (SSR 3) Needs Revision

Method Solo
Victor Poland
Play Date 2013-02-09
Language English
Scenario CaBr006

Played solo in 3 1/2 hours.

I posted the initial Italian setup in [link text][1]

I was looking forward to this scenario because the Polish order of battle is very different than in the previous four static defense scenarios.

Unfortunately, the scenario special rules handcuff the Italian too much.

The Poles move into position to the south of the hill and stay at long range. The Poles use direct fire over the next 3 hours to eventually kill enough steps to open a free path to the Italian artillery, While it was unnecessary in order to win, the Poles close move in and quickly eliminate the artillery in assaults, only losing 2 Bren in the process. The Poles the start mopping up the remaining Italian infantry.

Polish major victory.

Although I gave this scenario a "2", I believe it could be a lot more fun if the Italians could have a (random roll) chance to recover from shock, starting a few turns after the first shot fired. This would force the Poles to take care of the artillery instead of staying 3 or more hexes away from the AT guns to prevent them from ever activating.
