Not often you see such a well supported Italian force, with good leadership, excellent AT weapons (for the 1940 period), AT mines, fighter bombers. The British tanks must approach and erradicate the Italian AT guns, and there are some Italian tricks here.

- set up the AT Mines in the AT Gun hex, especially the Sangers.
- disperse the Italian force with 3 hexes between each position to limit the effect of the OBA (and adjacent tanks)
- hold fire until British within 12 hexes

Some tips for the British
- OBA observer is a prime (and almost only) sniper target. Maybe use CE tank commanders of the CS tanks to shield the observer from the sniper.
- Smoke, early, often. Need the cover to cross the ground. OBA smoke as well.
- use the Vehicular dust to shield the approach
- overrun the Sangers


A quesry - should the A13 CS tank be an A10 CS? Seems odd to have A9 & A10 tanks in the main, and this odd A13 CS tank? Not really an issue for game play, but historical oddity.
