Scenario AfKo011

It took an afternoon to complete this scenario in which 2 Italian tank platoons try to take an entrenched Australian company on the edge of Tobruk. Basically, the Italians are trying to peek into Tobruk harbor and the Aussies are tasked with eliminating the tanks with there only AT gun. The Australian defenders were successful in this play-through and destroyed the approaching Italian tanks by the end of the 6th game turn. This took both accurate AT fire and a close assault to finish off the M13/40 tank. There was little room for maneuver and the burden of movement and decision making was on the Italian Commander.

I enjoyed this simple, quick scenario with a skillful and aggressive opponent. I am just getting used to the game mechanics and VASSAL, so this was good practice for me. Not sure that the Italians can win this one without a great deal of luck, so I give it a 3.
