The eighteenth attack to take Hill 731 must work since an elite unit of the Siena Division, a special commando-type company called Daring Ones, and supported by four M13/40 tanks, would form the vanguard. After hitting Hill 731 with every piece of ordnance within range as well as MG fire with sights on the hill, the Daring Ones moved forward. The Greeks defending Hill 731 were taken by surprise at the swiftness of the Italian attack, which quickly reached the top of the summit including one of the M13/40 tanks. The Greeks, however, were not ready to give up the hill.
Attacker: Italian (Italian Siena and Centauro Divisions)
Very tough for the Italian (at least for me. I am curious about how a better player would attack that barren hill).

Very...very tough on the Italian infantry. ELR of 2 is devastating with no Rally bonus terrain and moving in the open. By Turn 3, 5 Italian squads were KIA'd along with the 8-1. The 9-1 had ELR'd and only two 4-4-7's were not ELR'd. Every Italian was broken at the end of Turn 3. Only the Italian tanks were still in play as the Italians conceded. Italians need a decent MG or a MTR. Greeks need an ATR at the very minimum. Scenario is dicey and will likely produce a blowout for either side.
