The Italian Commander set up on the hills/rises on the border of the two playing boards with an AT gun unit and a Sem 75 on either flank and the minefields set up in between, making a run up the road difficult. The Kiwi Commander opted for an Infantry attack on the right flank in the effort to knock out one of the AT gun units (and perhaps a Sem 75 while they were at it). This effort failed miserably. Costing the Kiwis and the Italians an even number of step losses. An effort was then made on the left flank, since it had been weakened by the Italians reinforcing the right flank. This, too, failed. The right flank collapsed (finally) but by then the Kiwis had very little in the way of Infantry left. The Italians made a good retreat with what they had left to the 60 meter high massif on the left side of board 76. There they prepared their last stand. Both of the Sem 75s were still active but the Kiwis had very little Infantry left in which to force the Italians off the last hilltop. At this point the step loss was absolutely even. The Kiwi Commander decided to try for a run off the board to the North and to try to pick off another step or two along the way to try to achieve the victory that way. Unfortunately, the Sem 75s blasted their way to victory while the Kiwis were trying to run off North. (Note - This is an excellant scenario for on-line play.)
