Scenario	TaBa048

This was a truncated 3-session, play-through with the mighty & rapidly-learning, ACav,, playing the attacking Italian horde of CV33 tankettes. I led the German side in this untested, mess of an unbalanced, overlong scenario. We quit after only 12 game turns of this gamey encounter. This encounter is badly-conceived & designed -- and clearly not play-tested. As others have already reported, if the Germans deploy in the woods, but adjacent to the road, the Italian onslaught is basically doomed from the get go.

This is supposed to be an ambush by the mobile Italians in their tankettes, but the setup instructions do not require that the Germans be packed together closely on the road, where they may be engaged "enroute and vulnerable." Without this, the Italians are not gong to ever get a win out of this mess. We quit by mutual agreement, with a German decisive victory, when we became aware that there was no hope for an Italian win , or even a draw.

I give this disaster of a scenario, a very generous 1. It might work as a SOLO effort, if one fixes the setup instructions, or selects more appropriate terrain for the battle map.
