With this scenario, I saw the the British have won all the play, but in this one the Italians won. I agree with Shad that this is like lion hunt, but I believe the buffalo's have the edge. The Italians look to be in a tough position with leaderless troops stranded in the middle of the board that need to get back with the main force. The British "lions" are the Rolls-Royce scout cars, but they don't have much punch and there armor is thin. Reinforcements appear later but they might be to late.

In my play, the Italians setup with the 77mm front and center to try to cover as much of the ground between them and the stranded force. The other units position around them and will try to dig in on there first turns. The British moved first trying to get between the stranded Italians and the main force. The Italians start moving away from the advancing scout cars and eventually turn the corner and get back with the main force. This means trouble for the British as the 77mm gun has enough force to kill the scout cars if they get within 6 hexes. What can the British do to attack the Italian hedgehog that they have built? The scout cars probe around the Italian lines looking to attack, but buy time for the British reinforcements. By turn 15 the other British tanks arrive, but they are too far away and will not be able to affect the fight. The Rolls-Royce need to do it themselves, unfortunately there first move toward the Italians one it hit by the 77mm for a step loss and the game.

I felt that this scenario can be predictable and needs some help. If the Italian player sets up to cover the stranded force and get them moving back as soon as possible, it will be a long day for the British. The Italians can easily get back their main force while the British will be stuck staying outside the 6 hex range of the 77mm gun (BTW the range of the 77mm is a printed 4, but remember extended range makes it 6, still with a FP of 1). I believe an SSR that restricts the stranded force to not moving unless a leader is present would help balance it. This would give the British a chance to cut them off but still give the Italian player chance to get them out of trouble.
