Poor Italians, the dice gods really had it in for them!
Yep, after the previous games when they'd done quite well, this game it all fell apart at the seams :(.
I thought the table looked good. I took particular note of your comment re the effect of taking hits off v leaving them on and was quite taken by the British luck in getting 5 activations like that, a complete contrast to failing command rolls and something to have regard for when considering enemy potential.
