Scenario COOE004

This was an exciting, 2-session, face-to-face bashing of 3 different types of Italian and Italian-Allied infantry. Tambu led the Italian side with the tough job of clearing a mix of Ethiopian troop types from some hills and various trails. Unlike other play-throughs, reinforcements for the Italians were delayed, but the Ethiopians arrived on time and ready to fight!

As others have reported, what ensued was a costly brawl of a scenario with multiple leader losses on the Italian side. Air strikes did minimal damage to the defending Ethiopian units, as often happens in PG games. Both sides suffered an immense number of demoralizations and disruptions, driven by the relative low morale factors involved. In the end, the Ethiopians scored a major victory as they held out on the hills and adjacent to, or on, the main trail that was swept by there DF. Final step loses were 12 for the Italians, and 10 for the Ethiopian side.
