2021-09-02(D) Richard Webb vs Morris Legge Australian winA tough one as the Italians, despite the best efforts of my tank killing crews who turned both Matilda's into blazing wrecks in CC. Morris concentrated his forces well, but let the carriers loose to cut rout paths and be a general nuisance. A great opponent.
2021-07-12(D) Jason Nichols vs Eric Topp Australian winMy first DTO scenario. I played the Italians. Eric played well as the Australians and used his vehicles well to screen his advance with dust. I managed to knock out five carriers and one tank but in the end it was not enough and Erics had the numbers when it came to infantry. The game came down to the last few dice rolls but the Italian morale was not up to the challenge and they fell short of victory. Siting the guns in sangers does make them vulnerable to overrun.
2021-06-20(D) Eric Topp vs Ron Oxford Italian winPlayed this before as the Italians and realised that the key to victory is to push the Guns out of the deathtrap sangars on turn 1. Aussies were making good progress up until turn 4 when the AA knocked out four of the Carriers. Then one of the ART DI-ed a Matilda that had stopped in a hex with an Italian squad. And yes - we remembered the subsequent dr (British Vehicle Note 26). As a final insult, the squad knocked out the Matilda in CC. Losing that much OVR potential really hurt so the Aussies threw in the towel.
2021-05-05(A) James Lowry vs Patch Bunny Italian win
2021-03-20(D) nathan wegener vs Randy Shurtz Australian winBounced 4!!! shells off of Carriers which promptly overran the guns...
The rest of my defense was too spread out to be effective.
It's desert it was dicey and it was still fun.
