No balance information available
Overview:
After the sudden Italian collapse in Italian Somaliland, the British quickly took up the pursuit of the Italian forces into Ethiopia. The task of chasing the Italians fell to the 11th African Division under Major General Wetherall. For 400 miles through Southern Ethiopia, the land was flat so no defense was offered up. The first defensible terrain was at Jijiga but the pursuit was so close that the Italians did not stop there and passed on to Marda and Babile passes. Both of these passes were excellent defensive positions that could not be outflanked. However, after tentative probes at Marda Pass, the Italians fell back to Babile Pass.Attacker: British (Elements of the 23rd Nigerian Brigade)
Defender: Italian (Elements of the Italian Ethiopian Army)
