Scenario DeRa006

In this night scenario a group of Italian colonial troops have to cross a desert board dotted with hills trying to avoid the attentions of a well armed and led Indian force. The Italian player has to exit more step than he loses, eliminating Indian steps lowers Italian losses. The Indian player looks to have the easier task has has massive firepower and higher morale however of the road hexes he has less movement ability. Vince and I have agreed not to publish what both of us agree is the only way viable tactic for the Italian player, so I will only comment on what the Indian plan, which was to not bother chasing the Italian CAV or BAN but slowly contain the Italian FAN units and then eliminate at least four steps without losing any. This plan worked but only just, I in fact advanced a little further than I should have done so, and then Vince made an error which enabled me to close on him and once the Indians are in contact with the native troops there is little the Italian player can do. This is a thinking scenario with little actual combat and I have rated it a 4. Vince said his error had spoiled the game for him, as he makes so few normally I am just pleased that I spotted his error and reacted in the correct way.
