One IT INF + Capitano makes an amazing run past OF to get adjacent to the objective hex only to get (finally) caught in an assault. But, the Australians can't get a good kill roll on the assault columns (and the IT hold morale fairly well).

The IT HMG was demoralized early and was forced to flee. Two other IT INF had been "stopped" by DIS by OF, but the Australians were themselves delayed by disruption and, once finally in the assault, again could not get much going on the 9-col. The IT 9-0-1 LT held tough.

So, the scenario duration was "just right" as it could have gone either way. Another turn or two and eventually AUS morale in assaults would have surely prevailed.
