*For years I have wanted to play this scenario even though it looks to favor the British too much but it has a lot of cool unit types. The Italian have: M13/40, M14/41, Sem 75/18, Fiat 611, AB41 and big 90mm AT guns units to name a few and the British have: Grant, Crusader I, Crusader CS, Valentine, Matilda units to name a few as well. Both sides have supporting Infantry & Heavy Weapons units as well. But the British have 42 armor unit verses the Italians 21 and the British have armor efficiency, so it’s more like 84 to 21.

*I played it anyway, as it is played out over two desert maps and I really wanted to play this. The Italians start kind of in the middle of the two maps the British have one battle-group enter from the East and the second slower battle-group of Valentine & Matilda tanks enter from the far north-west corner. So at sometime in the battle, the Italians will be a sandwich.

*The Italians fended off the first group of British for a few turns but after that the British started to control the map, even after and Italian counter attacked with tanks and a flanking move with their armored cars. The Italian losses became too great to overcome as whoever has the most eliminated enemy steps wins, there was no way for the Italians to ever catch up! This was a total British victory. I did learn that the Italian 90mm AT gun can take out a Matilda and a SEM 75/18 can take out a Grant but those were small victories in a major British Victory and a sea of British armor!

*The reason I ranked this scenario a 2, is that fact that I do not believe it to be a very balanced scenario but it still fun to push all those different armor types around that huge desert terrain.
