The Axis forces assaulted on their right flank trying to break the first entrenchment near the board edge. It looked good at first as they were able to disrupt the units in that entrenchment on the first turn and got a few infantry next to it for a next turn assault. But the Aussie artillery played havoc with the Axis infantry all game as well as the cross fire form the Aussie infantry and HMGs. The assault on this first position never went anywhere as the Aussies kept recovering morale. The German infantry got close to the next entrenchment just to the left but made little progress on it either. Things looked good as the German and Italian tanks moved up into firing positions but the Australians were defiant knowing the were behind the AT ditch. The Axis bad luck continued with FOW rolls ending turns 4 &5 early before the tanks could have effect and then they withdrew on turn 6! The German infantry did skirt around the Aussies' left flank and reached the rear most entrenchment. There was a furious fight there and the Australians took casualties there but held the positions.

In the end the Axis lost three steps of infantry and Lieutenant. The Australians lost a step of infantry. It was light casualties just like the historical description. A fun a quick scenario but somewhat dicey.
