The Brits decide to defend only the eastern ridgeline in order to spread out to attempt to prevent he Italian's from breaking through and exploiting east. Their main effort is in the north to block the the only road heading east. The cent, if not engaged will adjust toward the Italian area of attack.

The Italians launch their main attack with most of their infantry supported by L6.40 Light Tanks while one company of infantry supported by the L3/35 Tankettes attack the southern portion of the defense to either fix the Brits in place or breakthrough if possible.

The Italians have artillery and air support.

The attack jumps off well with the tanks and tankettes in the lead while the guns take up a position on the west ridge to support by fire. The infantry moves to their attack positions under British mortar fire that has little effect. Both Italian forces hit the British line before noon. Immediately the northern attack suffered heavy casualties from the well dug in UK troops but the southern force has success and appears to be about to break through.

However, just before 1 PM the northern Italians rally and hit the British line again in a more coordinated infantry assaults' with tanks and artillery. The British line in the north break and the Italians look to break through and clear the road. In the south however, the brits rally and halt the Italian attack.

The brit center reacts as planned and manages to set up a second line of defense along the road in the valley behind the ridgeline. The UK machineguns hammer the Italian infantry coming over the ridge. the in the south, the brits fall back and stubbornly halt the Italian infantry. The afternoon sees see-saw fighting and neither side is clear who is winning. The surviving Italian tanks in both sectors break through and head off map and the Italian infantry almost clear the road but one stalwart Brit Platoon holds out as the other two fall to intense Italian airstrikes and artillery bombardment. The UK commander is killed which causes disruption in the British chain of command. In the end the British suffer too high casualties and the Italian tanks gain the needed breakthrough for an Italian victory.

This scenario was great fun as it was never clear who was going to win. It went right down to the wire. But the Italians getting off five steps of tanks (which count double for the required ten steps) ended up being decisive. This was possible by artillery and assaults taking out the two Brit 2 Lbr AT Guns early in the game.
