This was a race against the clock. Peruvian superiority in all aspects versus a relatively short time line to execute their attack. In the end, the God's of war smiled down on little Ecuador and allowed them to hold on despite overwhelming odds and superiority.

The Ecuadorians opted to forfeit the bridge and the river line in order to setup a deep defense anchored on the first town and the woods on either side. All of the Ecuadorian infantry deployed in the woods and the first town, in dug in positions, with the expectation that the CARA platoons would garrison the larger town. Good fortune arrived early as the CARA arrived with their first roll to enter.

The majority of the scenario saw the same formula applied over and over against each successive Ecuadorian position; massed Peruvian artillery fire would disrupt/demoralize the defenders, which were then further demoralized or reduced by close in direct fire from the tank platoons. Finally, demoralized and reduced Ecuadorian platoons were overwhelmed by Peruvian close assaults, and the position was carried. The slow and methodical approach to reducing each defensive position was sound in theory, and practical in execution, but it quickly became apparent that time was not on the side of Peruvian forces. A desperate wheel around the woods to invest the larger town from the west looked like it might have paid dividends. The CARA quickly demoralized, but then the Gods of War intervened. 4x successive rolls to rally resulted in rolls of 2,3, or 4, and the CARA was able to hold the town.

3-4 more turns would have seen the Peruvians overwhelm the CARA in the town, possibly less if the dice were friendly. The mobile battering ram that was the Peruvian armor played a significant role in the destruction of Ecuadorian forces. They simply had no answer for the armor, especially once their lone artillery section was destroyed by a massed artillery pounding. All in all it was an enjoyable scenario for both sides. The Peruvians were successful in their combined arms reduction tactics, and the Ecuadorians were very lucky in their efforts to delay the hold on.
