Scenario AfKo007

This was an enjoyable 6-session play-through with the wily Treadasaurus as the leader of the defending Italians hiding behind a lot of spread out entrenchments. I tried my luck as the Australian/British leader of a combined arms force. We lost count of the number of Fog of War-shortened turns in this battle, but this rule certainly helped the defenders more than the attacking side. This scenario was a real slog to finish and it is VERY unbalanced in favor of the Italians. I recommend it for solo play only, unless you play it with the house rules that others have described in their AARs, especially as regards the confusing surrender rule.

I agree, this scenario is best reserved for SOLO play.
