This is a fun but ultimately hopeless exercise. Brits have an all tank force and must attack a fortified Italian position, bristling with AT guns. Italians also have better morale and naval guns. It works about as well as one would expect. Brits enter in 2 nearly identical groups, one of which is immediately under extended range fire from the Italian naval guns. These slaughter the Brits on approach and survive a short dual with the remnants of the British formation. The other group enter and have a dual with the Italian tanks on the map, ultimately winning but being about 3/4 strength at its conclusion. This is not nearly enough strength to make a dent on the Italian hill, not that full strength would have been enough either. Its a doomed situation, but the shooting gallery for the Italian naval guns is a bit amusing for a quick solo game. I would have have given this a 3 on the merits of the unique situation, but needed eratta to the setup knocked it down one. |
