1250 pts attack/defend scenario on 10x6 table. Defender deployed first, then attack came on their edge. 4 objectives (2 hill crests, bidge & railway station). Defender allowed to be dug in (counts a -1 to kill if hit). Italians v. Soviets. Italians defending.
The Ities got lucky at the atart landing their mortar & their artiilery on the enmy mortar & artillery straight up. Without artillery supprt & the enmey raining frie frpom theire, the Sobviets had no chance & soon conceded.
Game 2: Chris defending.
This time the Soviets made a concentrated attack on the Italian right. they also got the run of the artillery dice. They over-ran the ridge on their left.
The Soviet plan to concentrate theri attack was sound enough, but given the time factors & tabrel size, probbaly should have put some pressure on the Itie left to stop them reinforcing their centre.
