Overview:

The days of Africa Orientale Italiana were finally coming to a close in Abyssinia, as South African and Nigerian forces continued a now largely-unopposed advance to Addis Ababa. Italian colonial forces were deserting and surrendering en masse, in embarrassing numbers. On the evening of 28 March, elements of two battalions of the XVII Colonial Brigade began to mutiny.
Attacker: Italian / South African (Dire Dawa Colonial police Garrison with Assistant Governor and Escorting Police and 1st Battalion, Transvaal Scottish, 1st South African Infantry Brigade Group)

2023-12-27(A) fabrizio da pra vs Fabio Mazzucchelli, Federico Corso Italian / South African win
2023-07-22(A) Michael Rodgers vs Erik LindbladA Italian (Mutineers) winThe Italians mustn't use the north road to enter; its too far away. The historical alliance would be South African with Italian. For the Italians, however, an alliance with the Mutineers might work better. Ended with Mutineers 8, South African 6 and Italian 4.
2023-05-20(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Timo Kärnä & Olli-Pekka Kiukkonen Italian (Mutineers) win
2022-10-22(A) Shane Pask vs Italian (Mutineers) winAs with the 2P version, luck was not with the Italians. The Mutineers took the arsenal early and picked up a 20L ATR and MMG and repulsed every Italian effort to retake it. The Italian reinforcements came in to the north but with all the open ground and brush, the Fiat did not even reach the town. The other Fiat was destroyed early with the purloined MMG.
The South Africans were no help at the arsenal concentrating everything on the station. By the time they had it under control (and the Mutineer 6+1 in custody) there was no time left to reach the town.
Final tally Mutineers 8, South Africans 6, Italians 2.
2022-01-16(A) Paul Works vs Dan Best / David Mareske Italian (Mutineers) win
