Overview:

At dawn on 3 October 1935, 100,000 Italian troops crossed the northern frontier of Ethiopia in three large columns. "We have been patient for 40 years," Mussolini announced to the vast crowd assembled in the Piazza Venezia. "Now, we too want our place in the sun." The Italians met no resistance, as Haile Selassie wanted no doubt as to who was the aggressor, and the Ethiopian armies pulled back 30 kilometers. On the second day of the march, however, it was discovered that Ras Seyum, commander of the Army of Tigre, had sent several groups into the "neutral zone" against the Emperor's wishes. One of these troops, numbering some 500 men under the command of Dejaz Gebriet, had established itself on Amba Augher, which lay directly in the path of Pitzio Biroli's advancing Eritrean Army Corps.

2024-08-01(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Mikko Lukkari Eritrean win[Imported from ROAR]
2022-09-14(A) Marcus Lange vs Santi Eritrean winPlacing the gun ( no smoke ) right was a bonus. Short fire range of the Ethiopians helped me too. Still a dash over open ground. Ended in a lot of CCs.
This is a scenario for good players, not recommended for new players.
2022-08-28(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Ethiopian win
2022-08-28(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Ethiopian winReally disliked this scenario. Terrain makes it an absolute misery to move. Italians are CX almost the entire game and then get the joy of being ambushed by HIP Ethiopians and Cave Dwelling Ethiopians. I rated this scenario harshly. It just wasn't fun to play at all.
2022-03-05(D) Jobbo Fett vs Gary Bartlett Eritrean winGot thoroughly diced, being unable to break anything but a single squad. Even a Mistaken Attack (w/ bombs!) couldn't get me anything more than a damnable Pin result. The terrain changes are probably the worst part of this scenario, as it can be quite confusing at times, especially when terrain changes apply more than one effect. If your opponents troops aren't supermen, I can say that the scenario feels tight, time-wise, and it does act as an intro to caves. Perhaps not the greatest one, but I didn't have too much of a hard time with it.
