Great mid sized scenario. Decided to put the main artillery batteries up the hill giving it a good view over the battle field and the entry area of the Aussies/Brits. I decided to let the first wave of Allies clean up the entrenchments all the way south taking advantage of the cover of the AT ditches and staying out of reach of the Italian hill arty. The reinforcements would take care of them. Progression south was ok until the Aussies met stiff opposition in the form of 2 Ital steps of Inf and a 1-10-1 Ten. It took about 3 hours of siege and 4 steps to take them out.. The reinforcements by then marched towards the hills and were targeted by the Italian arty, who, becoming spotted in the act, were targetted by the allied off board arty. After about an hour and a half the Italian arty was 'neutralised'. The arty's cordon of Italian infantry and AT however didn't give up their trenches so easily. It took till the end of the scenario and even then 3 entrenchments still were giving the allies a hard time. In the south one entrenchments with one Disrupted step of Italian inf was still in action. As the allies lost 9 steps but 4 entrenchemts were still Axis occupied a drawn was the result. |
