Overview:

In February, the formidable positions of Amba Aradum was encircled and captured, the Ethiopians losing some 8,000 dead. Ras Kassa's army, west of Amba Aradum, was firmly ensconced on another strong defensive position, Amba Wrok, the "Mountain of Gold". The Italians appreciated the near impregnable nature of Amba Work and decided on a daring commando-style raid under cover of darkness. They found the Ethiopian guards asleep and within minutes, the Italians owned the peak. Now they had to hold it against counterattacks.
Attacker: Ethiopian (Elements of the Army of Gondar)
Defender: Italian (Volunteers of the October 28th Blackshirts of the 114th Legion and Askaris of the 12th Native Battalion and the Savoy Grenadier Battalion)

2022-05-14(A) Jobbo Fett vs Gary Bartlett Italian win Italians took the early lead, plastering every Ethiopian squad they could see, breaking some 5 squads on the first mph/dfph. The Artillery piece got one shot before the crew broke. Turns 2 and 3 were looking better for the Ethiopians, using the terrain and reinforcements to get the Italians to reshuffle their line, on top of breaking a squad or two. Gary had incredibly hot dice, nearly a half-dozen snake eyes, with an extra dozen 3's and 4's. By Italian Turn 3, the MMG on the hill decided to just casually break everyone (3 stacks - 2 leaders and 6 squads) while just about everyone else was broken, dead, or dying.

Making ALL Italians and Eritreans Fanatic is pretty dumb when it gives the Italians a 10-1 / 10-2, and we both felt it should apply to MMC only.
