Canadian Command and Control is being degraded, the Key Terrain is universally in Italian hands, and support fire is still not coming in. The right flank is rapidly collapsing, and the Sherman will be in great danger soon. The centre is holding, but that's the best that can be said. Contact is rapidly heating up around the Villa, and two sections seem to have already been effectively exterminated.
But there's still a chance, if we can fool the Italians into thinking they're still worse off than we are...
The Sherman, with rapid movement and accurate fire, will be key to this strategy - it is the sole unit we have that can reliably take on one or more armoured car with a fair chance of not only surviving but eliminating them, if it can be used intelligently.
At this point, with computer troubles galore (my excuse for the huge amount of time it took to finally post this) the game appears to have died the death. As far as this battle went, I'd say I had a decent chance of still winning, but only based on the point value I was surely netting from destroying vehicles in exchange for my troop losses. While the ahistorical troop choices mean this was a oddball, it was still fun, if mostly for the scrambling I had to do to readapt in the face of overwhelming Italian steel. Good game again, and until next time!
