Wee Jock vs the Italians

 It's the retreat from Tug Argan, and the Black Watch are pulling back.  A single platoon acts as rearguard.  What could go wrong?

The patrol phase ends pretty evenly, but random terrain allocation leaves the game without much cover.

The Italians get a Breda team on overwatch down first.

And the 
Sergente, let's call him Giuseppe, puts an assault party together.  Assault?  This lot?
The British armour, style over substance I fear.

And the Italians brew two of those carriers using an A/T rifle team.

Wee Jock and his strangled cat pipes give heart to the Black Watch.

But a perfect Catchroll comes out, much spoken of but seldom seen, a 1 to 5, Italian armour comes on with the Tenente, lets call him Guiseppe too.

Wee Jock McGurk, platoon Sergeant takes the second jump off point among the rocks.  All of my Black Watch have the surname McGurk.

And Wee Jock the anti tank Gunner puts a boyes round into the Italian Tenentes tank.  Italian morale fails and the Black Watch win.

Wee Jock where's yer troosers?
