Scenario AfKo001

I played the scenario solitaire, as I am trying to learn the game system, and the scenario is a good learning tool. Very few units, a small battle area, not much interfering terrain. The Italians moved on the Australian left to take their objective, and the Australians attacked the Italian right flank. Heavy Australian machine-gun and mortar fire erased an Italian lieutenant and rifle platoon, but Italian off-board artillery and machine-guns stymied the Australian attack further. Overall, the battle was a draw, but a good learning experience. The keys to the game are morale and leadership. You seek to demoralize the enemy, then kill him, and without leadership, you can do nothing. The Australians had much better leadership than the Italians, but the Italians had off-map artillery. I'm not sure what scenario I'll play next.
