**This was a scenario played over six months ago. I’m winging writing about the scenario but I remember the basics. It was an interesting game. The Brits had a tough go of it, but not as bad as what happened in the real battle. In 1940 they were caught flatfooted their attack was defeated by a much weaker opponent. The 2nd King’s African Rifles had over twice the troops and firepower as the Italian 25th Colonial Brigade. The attack looked straightforward, Just punch straight ahead, overwhelming the Colonial Brigade. But the Brigade moved out of Moyale quickly and occupied the high ground overlooking the British advance. They were able to disrupt and demoralize the 2nd KAR for many turns, slowing their advance. But eventually they were overwhelmed and Moyale was in British hhands again.

After the Italians set up a defense of the town and the road behind it, the British flanked the position around the North and set a spoiling attack in the South to prevent reinforcements from coming to the rescue of the town. In fact, not only were the reinforcements prevented from heading North, they were cut off completely! In short, the battle went better than expected and the British prevailed easily.
