See my extensive errata for this scenario. I believe something is broken in the scenario set-up instructions as the British can achieve half of their victory conditions as written (assuming we correct exiting east to exiting west!) in two turns with essentially no chance of Italian intervention (see my post in the errata).

I'm going to try to play this as though Ariete can set up in hexes xx10 and less on either board 4 or board 5. This makes the problem much more of the British having to force themselves through and/or between Italian strong points (as it was historically).

To be continued ...
