This is another Axis fortified hill with entrenchment spam similar to #s 20 & 21. This time the Allies still have a force far too weak to take the hill even without entrenchment and mine spam. However this time around, the Italians have less AT capability, so if that gets knocked out the New Zealanders can get their Brens into assault for some extra firepower, and the Italians are much thinner on the ground. The task is still unlikely to be successful but not to the "basically impossible" standard I have for a "1".

New Zealand has one true boon in this though, in that they drew their 11-1-2 LT, so they are able to advance with his modifier bonus into contact, ignoring all the OBA and 105 fire. They hit the Italian hill in good order, but wither under adjacent fire in the minefields. They fall back after being chewed up, and results in an easy Italian win.

Best course of action for NZ of course, is to dig in on board entry and sit there for a draw, but seeing as they had some remote chance of success they went for it. Otherwise most of these DR scenarios are going to draw.
