Scenario AfKo001

There really isn't much to say about this one. An Italian company runs into an Australian company. Neither side has any significant firepower. The Australians have a slight morale advantage and the Italians have some OBA (a 10 factor strike). They meet and tussle. The goal of the Italians is to get to a hex just beyond the Australian line so they have to attack.

In this scenario, as in many others I found the surprise in continuing to try to acheive victory after all likelihood of such victory is gone. In this case, that comprised a late lunge at the victory hex by an Italian INF platoon which was stopped one hex away from victory by an HMG firing opportunity fire. A pretty exciting endgame but not enough to lift this one substantially as a competitive event.

As a learning scenario I would give it decent marks. I would not suggest it as a ftf scenario unless it is used to teach. It does play quickly... I give it a "2"
