The second game in my mini-campaign was played out yesterday and the AAR can be found below:

Another great looking and interesting game, an exciting twist :)
As you mention campaigns definitely impact decision making in a more realistic way. I like the small narrative campaign idea and may try and play one this year :-\
Great report.
You know teh Rubicon is fordable for it's entire length, when it's not dried up!
@ PaulR. Definitely give small narrative campaigns a go as they are fun and the result of one game sort of leads to the next one and so one. I broadly sketch out a plan of the actions and simple maps, then add detail after each battle. Nice and simple but it works for me.
@ Mad Lemmey. I know but I couldn't think of a good title or another river, so went with the Rubicon out of sheer laziness!
Po?
Or any othger Tellytubby!

It's also somewhere in northern Italy . . .
Great fight, Steve, and wow, I did not see that coming, though maybe I should have as that's actually the second time this week I've read a batrep where Italian defenders carried the day against what appeared to be an overwhelming British assault (the other was over on Peter's "Grid-Based Wargaming" blog, the fight set in North Africa).
Things looked bleak, indeed, when first the Semovente went down, followed by the 47mm ATG, but a great turn when "Super Mario" arrived, followed by the Charge of the Light Tankette Brigade.
I patiently await fight #3.
V/R,
Jack
Glad you enjoyed it Jack :).
