Played over 3 sessions this is one of the more unusual scenario's played over the course of three days it is very long, however a sandstorm take place on the second day which rules out all movement and combat, a lot of the turns are at night and a special rule has all units who move at night disrupting so that really means that over there is only one full day of fighting. The Italian garrison sets up in one corner of the map and that for them is it in terms of movement, on the evening of the first day the Aussies move up to the Italian lines and under the cover of darkness virtually surround the Italian's. The Aussie's then dig in and sit out the sandstorm and wait for the orders to attack. This took two smallish session and is quite tedious in many ways, the Italians shell the Commonwealth force as they move up but at fail to cause any casualties, there is a lot of rallying units and shuffling of lines but to be honest the whole scenario could have started at 0615 on the final day with just a little adjustment of set up instructions. As the Commonwealth player if I had written down my ideal deployment it would have been very similar to how my forces had ended up after the sandstorm, I had suffered no losses and now it was just a question of wrinkling the Italians out of their dugouts I had plenty of time to do this and all then required is the patience to wait for the right die rolls. The British Artillery has only limited ammunition enough for 14 shots but I was determined to hit the enemy on board artillery first getting rid of any A/T capability thus releasing the Bren carriers to support the infantry in their attacks. I was also prepared to fire on the 16/11/7 direct fire columns for a long as it took to get results. The plan such, as it was, worked perfectly and I was blessed with instant success, lucky die rolls and before 3 hours had elapsed 10 plus Italian steps had been eliminated and when a very lucky A/T shot took out the Italian tankette Vince had had enough and conceded. I am sure that there would have been some Aussie losses in the final assault as Vince still had six entrenched HMG's to be dealt with but I would have kept to the game plan of taking as little risk as possible and used firepower to overwhelm the final Italian units, That is the issue with this scenario it is a big scenario but there is little for the Italian player to do except grin and bear it. Of course if the Aussie player charges in adjacent to the Italian dugouts and entrenchments then he will lose but a cautious, deliberate attack should win the day for the Allies.
