Scenario TaBa048

This is an interesting premise, but the scenario itself isnt that great if the Germans game the setup. Germans can deploy almost their entire force in the woods on board 6 while being every other hex and still adjacent to the road. Knowing the opposition is a spam of light tanks, they deploy with AT guns forward and infantry in the back, planning on running up and defending against whatever the Italians do from the woods.

Hardly "on the march" as the scenario should be representing. Germans are actually densely packed by the time the Italians get close as its going to be 2-3 turns before they get into combat anyway. From here the Italians suffer from the general problem of the CV33 being very poor at everything, and they get picked off from the AT guns until they are gone while the infantry chase them about in a constant state of nearly ready to assualt/waiting for init to pin/liquidate and repeat.

Really was a no contest due to gamey tactics, but was an interesting way to cap off the module. Some tweaks here could make this fun.
