Having just played this one a few days ago and not liking the result, I decided to try a different approach. Rather than just run when the German armor was visible, I would attempt a fighting withdrawal. This would hopefully result in some German/Italian losses, raising the step losses available for the British/Indian.

Turn1-8. The Allies and the Italians trade shots back and forth. A few Italians suffer disruption.

Turn 9-12. The Germans mass behind the ridge. The Italy's suffer more disruption and a demoralization.

Turn 13-15. The Germans move towards the Allied positions. The Indians move towards to the Italian positions while the British/Indian units orient engage with armor and ATGs.

Turn 16-20. Allied units have remarakable success hitting German mobile units. The Indian attack against the Italians is suffering from disruption and demoralization as Indian units assault the Italian positions. The Allied units are starting to pay the price though.

Turn 21-30. Holding the line as units are departing, the Allies are taking losses. Reorganizing after a bit too impetuous of a start, the Germans are putting the hurt on the Allies. The Allies had been lucky to this point, but have still lost 9 steps and the Germans and Italians 11.

Turn 31-35. The Germans assault across their front and right flank. The Aalied position starts to fall apart while withdrawing under pressure.

Turn 36-40. The Germans and Italians lose a total of 16 steps. The Allies lose 30. The fighting withdrawal was definitely more fun and was more tactically challenging, this is just a really tough scenario for the Allies.
