I dislike this scenario for the following reason: I think the victory conditions are poorly done. This scenario would be much better if it was done with the "modern" VP method. Why?

Because the two sides are almost identical in make up! The defender (Italians) are dug-in and the Australians need to eliminate (or dislodge) them all. Net morale is "0" and the only real advantage the Aussies have is better leaders, which is fairly balanced by the Italians being dug-in.

So how did it play out?

As the Australians spent their first few turns advancing, the Italian MGs fell back to join the rest of the Italian "line". By the time they advanced, the Aussies had less than 20 turns to eliminate all the Italians. They did a good job and got about half of them, suffering not quite as many casualties when the whistle blew. I really don't see how they have a chance in this one as the 0-4 record on PG-HQ shows.

Scenario Rating: 2/5
