Scenario AfKo001

I spotted this short, sweet scenario when I first opened the scenario book after the purchase. Great little scenario for learning and maintaining knowledge of the rules. I like to use the Impartial Leader Selector routine from the PGHQ, and loved the mix of leaders I got for this game. Australians with 9 morale for the Captain, a Lieutenant and the Sergeant, and an 8 for the other LT, while the Italians got a Capitano with a 7-0-0 and a Tenente with a 9-1-0. The Italian LT lead off with the infantry while the capitano lead from the rear with ineffectual artillery and mortar support. With little more than a few disruptions, I was feeling pretty lucky for the Italians on turn 4 so left the cover of the Wadi in an effort to close with one of the two dug in Australian positions after they Australians had used all their turn 4 action segments with no results. It just wasn't to be, as the Italians rolled a 1 and Australians a 5 for turn 5 initiative. This allowed the Australian mortar and other dug-in troops to disrupt and demoralize the Italians sitting waiting their turn to assault the Australians. With the third Australian action segment, the infantry and HMG platoons assaulted into the Italian hex, finishing off the infantry and chasing off the disrupted tenente. With all 3 Italian infantry platoons gone now, I called it a game at the end of turn 5. I want to use this as a training scenario to introduce some of my local gaming friends in the near future.
