My Australians win by controlling all five hillock summits, and eliminating all three ART guns and/or controlling their hexes. The multiple hillock overlays are treated as one large hillock.
The Italians have 16 squads, three 75* ART guns, and two 20L AA guns. I have 6 carriers, 2 Matilda IIs, and 9.5 squads. I have much better leaderships, a -2, two -1s, and a -0 vs the Italian three -0s and a +1.
At start
I've circled the three ART guns. 31N3, S3, S4, T3, and T4 are the hilloc summits. My plan is to move the carriers to the west of the hillock and use Vehicle Dust to screen my infantry.
The approach seems scary until you calculate the TH#s. There is a LV equivalent to Mist, and with Red TH#s and a * barrel, the 75mm guns need to roll a 4 to hit a vehicle at 13-18-hex range, and that does not include Cases J or P. Also, every Italian weapon, except the two 20L AA Guns, is B11.
