Scenario DeRa020

This one really just doesn't work. Morale difference or no, the Brits have to cross the map, wire, and minefields while under artillery fire, to then assault and clear out up to 17 Italian entrenchments on a hill... with no artillery support of their own... in a short time. Oh and they cant use their massive amount of Bren carriers either because the Italians have a friendly 88 on the top of that hill that gets a free kill every turn they are in range, and the Brens alone are enough to trigger the Italian VCs.

Brits have no chance at all. So they choose not to engage, and force a draw. I really hate to play this way, because many Desert Rats have the attacking force's best option to just deny combat for a draw, so I generally have been forcing the attack. This one is so one sided that I called the scenario out for it and didnt.

A real dud, worst of the module so far. Pass on this one. I reserve ratings of "1" for mechanically broken or impossible scenarios, this is one of them.
