The game was a rollercoaster, with a sandstorm hitting as we started [in turn 3 of an ongoing game]. So many of the units were pinned due to the weather. Any shooting that happened struggled to hit with the reduced visibility and cover. My dice rolling was very poor, which got a turns full of abuse. Turn four and it swung the other way, with my dice on fire, culminating in Ben and Liam wanting to pack in and go home. Despite the paddy they played on and the Italians were poorly positioned with very few infantry left [needed to secure objectives]. My dice flipped again and the SAS swung a convincing victory.
Once again the lesson learned is the game is not over until it is over. There is no point claiming defeat from just a bad turn because the Italians in the last two turns were struggling to be in the right places to hold their objectives. Too many pin markers and failed order rolls preventing them from running around the board snapping them up in the final turns.
Having packed it up we started a new Star Wars Legion game on the 'Geonosis' board. Some mistakes were made on my board extensions. I never did a black wash on them before drybrushing so they're very different and will need fixing. But as we only put two units on the board before we had to call it a night I didn't take any pictures. We'll catch up next week.
