Overview:
Gideon Force was a small British and African special force, which acted as a Corps d'Elite amongst the Sudan Defence Force, Ethiopian regular forces and Arbegnoch (Patriots) fighting the Italian occupation in Ethiopia. Gideon Force encountered a vastly superior Italian force under Colonel Natale near the fort at Dembecha on 5 March 1941. Although defeated in the battle, the British force inflicted such heavy casualties that three days later the Italian garrison was forced to withdraw to Debre Marqos. Seizing this fort allowed the British to isolate Debre Marqos from the rest of the Italian forces.Attacker: Italian (Reinforced III.Brigata Coloniale)
Defender: Allied (Gideon Force - Ethiopian Battalion and Patriots)

| 2019-04-09 | (D) Gordon Jupp | vs | Neil Brunger | Allied win | Interesting scenario with some different forces and situation. Seemed a real struggle in our playing for the Italians, but not helped by a mistaken attack by the air support! Highlight for me was capture of Italian a/c by patriot squad! | ||
