First let me state the errata from this scenario:

From Ottavio Ricchi:

The boards should be switched. Rather than 19-14, it should be 14-19 Victory conditions: the Italian must control the road hex within six hexes from the east edge of map 14.

...well, from the west edge of map 14!

Little Saturn, scenario #7, Buying Time

*A fun little scenario and more balanced then I initially thought it would be. Visibility is only 2 hexes and the Italians have a low ammunition rule for this scenario that they must pay attention to and try to only take good shots. Like the historical out come, the Italian held the first assault but once the Soviets reinforcements rolled on the board it became more difficult but still they came very close in controlling the errata road hexes. They only lost one in the ten turns. But the Soviets did take out 6 Italian steps and they were only needed 5 for their victory. The Italian came one hex away from a draw but couldn’t and gave the Soviets a Victory in this scenario. Kind of a fun scenario to mess around with if you have 45 minutes.

• Side notes, I drew a Soviet Leader, Lieutenant with a Morale value of 6. Also the Soviets lost 4 steps but this doesn’t factor into the victory conditions.
