Scenario COOE018

This was another in a series of uninspired, nonplaytested, infantry-only, slugfests in the wilds of Ethiopia. We played it in 3 sessions, with the determined, MIguelibal leading the fierce Ethiopians that came in several flavors: standard troops, irregulars, etc., as well as several kinds of Italian troops that I led. Both sides drew middling leaders. The attacking Ethiopians had it all their way in the first 5 turns before they suffered a senior leader decapitation, and their fortunes subsequently went rapidly downhill. We thought that, as published, this one is better played in SOLO mode. We both give it a rating 3.

More penance for the many sins of the tank-happy, or armor-obsessed?
