Enjoyed an exotic and different game: two brigades of Indian troops assaulting Italians dug in on a mountain ridge. Photo-AAR and a few reflections on the BBBBlog here:

Always impressive to see a battle I wouldn't have thought doable translated into a great scenario! Using 6mm does help to make the hills seem high enough.

Cheers, Syd. All credit to Crispin for creating the scenario and the terrain.

It's not just a simple frontal assault, as the Italians have a lot to do as well, directing reinforcements to where they're needed and organising counterattacks. The successive Indian reinforcements present significant fresh decisions during the game for the attacker as well.
