Conquest of Ethiopia, scenario #22: Second Tembien: Uork Amba

The Amba hexes with their -1 modifiers are trouble for both sides but since the Italians have to control all the Amba hexes on both the western and eastern hill masses and the Ethiopians have to control all the Amba hexes on just the western hill but can deny the Italians a victory by controlling one of the Amba hexes on the eastern hill mass. The Ethiopians have reinforcement that trickle in from the North and the Italians a HMG unit on turn three, it becomes a battle of the Amba hexes. Neither side is strong enough nor have enough units to control all the Amba on either hill. The battle after 20 turns resulted in a Draw. Both sides lost a few steps, the Ethiopian maybe one step more than the Italians. Worth a game play to see but on to another scenario after this.
