Overview:
The Bitwod Makonnen commanded the army of Wollega-Ardjo, the most modern and well-armed force in the north. Realizing the danger of an encirclement of Muluguea's army at Ambra Aradum and aching for a fight, he ignored the orders of his superiors and set out with a small picked force to halt the encircling left hook of the Italians. The Bitwod Makonnen divided his men into three parties. The objective was a group of Italian machine gun positions set up the afternoon before. Under cover of the half light before dawn, the Ethiopians crept toward the enemy.Attacker: Ethiopian (Army of Wollega-Ardjo)

| 2022-04-30 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | Gary Bartlett | Ethiopian win | It seemed the Italians just did not have the will to fight in this one, in an attempt to break the western front of the initial on-board ethiopians, they only broke one squad and the bloody CC in return wiped them all out. The MMG barely made a name for itself, though it did keep a leader broken for the match. I have to hand it to Gary's dice rolling a 5.81 on 42 rolls, with my average of 7.1 on 41 rolls making a pitiful showing. Not quite sure how to play the scenario any better than I did, aside from perhaps being less bloodthirsty initially. I think setting up on the upper-right hillock might not be the best idea, although I was hoping to use the stone buildings nearby as a base of fire after ridding myself of Gary's nearby Ethiopians. 26 squads to 12 Italian squads seems like a bit too much of an advantage when you have so few SWs and the initial two turns feature a +1 LV Hindrance. 8 turns is a monster for this scenario, imo. Should probably be 6. |
