Scenario AfKo017

I blasted through AK scenario 17 in no time tonight. The British Hussars and other tanks have 15 turns to rack up 40 step losses on an all infantry force. I quit on turn 6, with 27 step losses already...and another 18 in surrender-rolling position for next turn.

pretty easy stuff. One thing I might try if I play again is have some Italians dig in. But the surrender rule, and lack of AT weaponry, really puts the Italians in run-run mode. Not much to do, although I suppose if the Brits are careless, in some location where you pass a surrender roll you could assault some tanks..even then you will need to roll a "1" result on assault to have any effect, so I'm not sure what you can do here besides creative running.

Fun historical scenario though...nice to see at ground level how ill suited for the desert the bulky Italian infantry divisions really were. It's like watching the real thing during a flyover.
