Overview:

The most cowardly war in history was drawing to its inevitable close as Mussolini's legions closed in on the Ethiopian capital of Addis Abada. Despite the odds, many tribesmen were waging a heroic struggle behind the Italian lines, conducting daily attacks against the enemy rear. In one such skirmish, an Italian armored column was escorting several supply vehicles when partisans were spotted on a hill ahead, deployed for the attack.
Attacker: Italian (Elements of the Livorno Division)
Defender: Ethiopian (Elements of the Ethiopian Republican Guard and fanatical elements of Haillie Sallassi Camel Cavalry)

2022-06-11(A) Jobbo Fett vs Gary Bartlett Ethiopian winWhile the availability of a tankette with a big juicy flamethrower on it is nice, the lack of time and speed means you'll get to use it maybe twice, if you're lucky. The slowest ACs on the Italian side need 62MP (or all 6 turns) to get off-board, along with the tankettes, unless they choose to cut a corner somewhere - only having 10MP left over for any unexpected expenditures, like an overrun or a wreck crowding a road junction or turn. This one also punishes you for having the Italian infantry do anything other than immediately disembarking and advancing up the hill, which itself is a skulker's best friend.

The sun blindness should be remembered, as the +2 DRM is ready to bite the player in the ass at the worst of times. Special mention goes out to Gary's squad that took 5 NMC in open ground from a mortar, rolling 5 every time. Investigations have been started to find out how to modify my dice in VASL.
