Introduction

In the meantime, Addis Ababa and its environs bubbled with patriotic ferment as well. A small engagement occurred only 15 kilometers away from the city. A small detachment of Carabinieri and Zaptié (Colonial Carabinieri) who were searching for arms caches found themselves caught by surprise and encircled.

Conclusion

The Carabinieri fought for their lives until night fell, holding out long enough to be rescued by a column that arrived and dispersed the rebels. Several small engagements like this punctuated the attempted pacem romanum the Italians sought to instill in their empire.

Conquest of Ethiopia, Scenario Thirty-Eight: Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway VI

A small scenario that doesn’t last the 20 turns if the Ethiopian Rebels try an attack the Italians with a 6/5 morale but they have to, to eliminate enemy steps to try and get a victory. The Ethiopians lost before the Italian reinforcement even arrive, losing three steps right away and one more token step after the Italian extras arrive.
