RE: [SotM] 2012 August - Prepare for Battle!
As Vince said, I probably would have been better off charging straight up the hill from the south which would have given me more time. Hindsight shows that OBA was really a non-factor.
Also, trying to keep the units in cohesion across the desert took longer as well - somethng that would have been alleviated in the shortened area.
Would the result have been different? Probably not - when push came to shove, I was able to defeat the Italians in almost every assault, but a cleared hex would immediately expose those units to adjacent fire from all over the place, causing DIS and DEMs which required at least 1-2 turns of recovery.
