1 INCIDENT AT WALWAL ltbv

December 5th, 1934 (Ogaden Desert, Hararge Province, Southern Ethiopia)

At Walwal there were over a thousand wells, the biggest concentration in the Ogaden. A well was not just a hole in the ground with water at the bottom; it was and is an important piece of property.

On 23 November 1934, an Anglo-Ethiopian boundary commission, which had been surveying the frontier between British Somalia and Ethiopia, arrived at Walwal, 100 kilometers within Ethiopia. Walwal is well west of the Italian Somaliland border of the time. As early as 1928, the Italians were moving deep into Ethiopia and establishing military posts. They simply did not respect the treaties they had signed.

In 1934, the Italians had already been established at Walwal for more than 4 years. The Ethiopian force and the British survey party reached Walwal and encamped near the Italians who were controlling the wells there. They are the only source of water in the area.

The British members of the commission protested at the Italian presence, but then withdrew to Ado to avoid an "international incident". The Ethiopians on the other hand faced the Italians.

On December 5th, a shot was fired and soon a FULL-SCALE BATTLE erupted.

2 BATTLE OF GORRAHEI ltbv

November 2nd, 1935 (Ogaden Region, Hararge Province, Southern Ethiopia)

In the early hours of 3 October a hundred thousand Italian troops crossed the Eritrean frontier. Yet the first stage of this particular invasion was surprisingly peaceful, almost idyllic.

On the northern front, four days later, Adowa, Enticcio and Adigrat had been occupied without a battle and almost without incident. The Negus had issued strict orders to the lords not to resist the Italian advance: his purpose was to show the world who was the aggressor. It was more amazing that his orders had been so nearly followed.

Haile Selassie Gugsa announced that he had declared for Italy and that the road to Makalle lay open. Yet, as it happened, this was the first and last open defection to the Italians of an important noble and his men. The Italians, deceived by the known rivalries, had underestimated the inner cohesion of Ethiopia's ruling class when threatened by outsiders.

On the southern front, there had been no solid advance but a series of skirmishes. More seriously, the Italians prepared to move against Gorrahei where Afework's forces had now been joined by the first Guards battalion from Harar.

Colonel Frusci prepared an operation on a large scale with his MECHANIZED and EXPERIENCED Arabo-Somali battalions. On 2 November ITALIAN PLANES BOMBED the Mullah's stone fort.

HQ: bought a mortar and a flak.

3 BATTLE OF TEMBIEN bv-1

December 15th, 1935 (Tigray Province, Northern Ethiopia)

The Ethiopian counter-attack.

Almost simultaneously at the end of November 1935, the two rival war-leaders reached their new headquarters in the North. Dessie for Haile Selassie and Makalle for Badoglio.

Badoglio was not particularly happy with the situation.
It was too reminiscent of Adowa (Italian defeat against the Ethiopians in 1896) on a large scale: divisions this time strung out in a long line with sketchy communications between them and the Ethiopians massing in front, ready to pounce on first one and then another isolated group.

Badoglio had no doubt that the Ethiopians were massing. All the air-reconnaissance reports brought news of approaching armies. It seemed hardly the moment for the great push forward from Makalle, which would only lengthen his lines of communications and leave an even greater gap in the Italian centre into which the Ethiopians might drive.

On 15 December, as Ras Imru and Ayalew Birru's men crossed the Takazze River, the army of Wag attacked in the Tembien. Dejaz Haile Kebbede led his army of Wag, now 10,000 strong. Their morale was high, though only one man in six had a rifle and the whole force had only TWO OR THREE MACHINE-GUNS.

HQ: bought a second mortar and an INF.

4 BATTLE OF GANALE DORIA bv-1

January 6th, 1936 (Juba Region, Sidamo and Bale Provinces, Southern Ethiopia)

The Ethiopian counter-attack.

It was in the southern half of his sector that Graziani realized that he would have to meet a threat. The forces of Bale led by Dejaz Beiene Merid were moving down the Webbi Shebelli River. More dangerous still, the forces of Ras Desta were assembling in Sidamo to move down the Juba River and turn Graziani's left flank.

By November the Sidamo army, at least 20,000 strong, had reached Magallo, north of Neghelli. It was a well-armed and well-equipped force, so well-armed indeed that the Italians were convinced that Ras Desta had been receiving rifles from the British in Kenya. It was moreover working in close co-operation with the forces of Bale, the adjoining province to the north.

It looked to Graziani like a well coordinated movement, particularly difficult to counter because Ras Desta's right flank was protected by the Kenya border. It would become particularly threatening if it was combined with an offensive in the Ogaden.

Fortunately for Graziani's peace of mind Ras Desta's advance through the almost trackless forests and mountains of Southern Sidamo was slow.

By 6 January Ras Desta's forces HAMMERED CONTINUALLY BY THE ITALIAN BOMBERS as they advanced up the palm-shaded valley, were in a semicircle about sixty miles from Dolo.

HQ: bought a second flak and an AT.

5 BATTLE OF ENDERTA tv

February 10th, 1936 (Enderta Region, Tigray Province, Northern Ethiopia)

Six miles long and two to three miles wide, Amba Aradam rose high above the surrounding countryside, facing Makalle and blocking any possible move south. It was a real "amba", flat-topped, covered with crevices and canyons and caves, impregnable on the north-east where the Tug Gabat ran round its flanks through precipitous ravines.

For five weeks Ras Mulugueta had been encamped with his Mahel Safari on this mountain. Ras Mulugueta's 70-80,000 men were on Amba Aradam top, half spread out around its flanks. He had machine-guns, cannons, and a few anti-aircraft guns. Behind him the plains of Mahera were alive with the cattle gathered en route and herded up to feed his vast army.

On 5 February the Emperor ordered the Bitwoded Makonnen's 12,000 well-armed men, the army of Wollega, and the most modern in the North to move forward from Quoram as reinforcements.

On Sunday 9 February Badoglio called forward the journalists from Asmara to Makelle and held a confident, almost boastful press conference. On Monday 10 February four divisions began moving forward before dawn. Badoglio's plan was simple enough; not to attack Amba Aradam frontally, an impossible task, but to carry out a DOUBLE ENCIRCLING MOVEMENT.

HQ: I improved an INF
My units were on the verge of total collapse and I could thank the remaining aux units that a victory was possible.
The Italians with total air superiority and more than half a dozen stacked units (INF + ATY) - very annoying.

6 SECOND BATTLE OF TEMBIEN loss

February 27th, 1936 (Tigray Province, Northern Ethiopia)

On the morning Ras Mulugueta died, Badoglio launched his second attack in the Tembien. Rumors of the great battle at Amba Aradam had already spread, and were confirmed, first by Dejaz Aberra Kassa (son of Ras Kassa) who had headed for the Tembien and then by Italian leaflets dropped from the air.

The Bitwoded Makonnen's death was more of a blow to the morale of the Ethiopians than the death of Ras Mulugueta, unpopular with all for his severity. It was a demoralized and much reduced army that the Italians had to attack. There were 50,000 armed men or less facing the Italians instead of the 150,000 that had attacked them a month or so before. It was always difficult to keep any large Ethiopian army in the field.

Ras Kassa knew that an Italian attack was imminent and that a large force of Italians was moving down the Gheva valley TO CUT HIM OFF FROM THE REAR. But his was a strong defensive position; the mountains were almost impregnable. Ras kassa waited almost with confidence for the Italians to break themselves on the lower slopes of the mountains, as they had done before.

What Ras Kassa had failed to allow for was Italian mountaineering skill. To climb the sheer cliffs of the Golden Mountain, Worq Amba, would have been an exploit even by daylight. To climb it by night and when it was occupied by the enemy was a heroic feat.

HQ: an INF improved
The disaster continues. The Italians with absolute air superiority and strong ATY advantages. With great losses I was able to conquer two VH's, but the third (in the middle of the mountains, supported by 3 ATY) remains unmatched.

7 BATTLE OF SCIRE ltv

March 2nd, 1936 (Scire Region, Tigray Province, Northern Ethiopia)

Ras Imru had known very little of what was going on at the main battlefields to his east. He had a marked tendency to obey orders and so he confined himself to sending out raiding parties behind the Italian lines and building up his defenses around the Coletza Heights.

Badoglio was confident of success not only because some reports put Ras Imru's total strenght at only 25,000 men, "in a poor moral and material state", but also because of the attitude of Dejaz Ayalew Birru who had shown in various ways that he was not adverse to submitting to Italian rules.

Nevertheless Ras Imru had been Italy's most dangerous opponent, the only Ethiopian commander who had attempted to maneuver, to cut communications, to threaten a counter-invasion, and to raise revolts in the Italian rear. Badoglio was taking no risks.

On 2 March, Maravigna's 2nd Corps advanced in an ENORMOUS LONG COLUMN that moved forward on both sides of the road.

The advance guard of the Gavinana and the artillery group was ambushed and almost surrounded by Ras Imru's men who had crept up over broken ground.

HQ: I bought a mortar and a Range-3 ATY

The first turns were critical - the Italians attacked vehemently and I had great difficulty defending two VH's. The new ATY did a good job and the "Determined Defense" -INF was the rock in the attack surf.

8 BATTLE OF MAI CEU ltbv

March 31st, 1936 (Central Highlands, Tigray Province, Northern Ethiopia)

Thus by mid-March the north of Ethiopia was in Italian hands. Italian columns were moving out in all directions.

The emperor of Ethiopia had decided to lead his own troops into battle. Badoglio's wireless messengers intercepted the message. He immediately cancelled the orders for his proposed advance, and disposed his forces to await the Imperial attack.

For this decisive action Badoglio had called up his best troops. On the Ethiopian side could be found most of the greatest names of the Empire. It was fitting that the great battle of the war should be fought not between subordinates but between the Marshal of the Italian armies and the Emperor himself. Both the Emperor and Badoglio must have realized that the impending battle would decide the fate of an Empire, and neither of them could have wished it otherwise.

Above all morale was high in the Ethiopian camp because the Emperor was with them and because they were going on the attack.

The Italians knowing in advance of the attack had time to FORTIFY THEIR POSITIONS, put up thorn "zeriba" hedges, site their guns, and bring up by pack mules with all the supplies they needed from their motor-transport base. They knew not only that an attack was imminent but almost certainly when it was coming. The radio messages of the Ethiopians had been intercepted.

HQ: I upgraded the last spearman to an INF with firearm.

HQ: I upgraded the last spearman to an INF with firearm.
The Italians await my attack and start immediately a counterattack in the west. I can fend off this because I positioned 3/4 of my ATY here.
Air Italia is omnipresent again. All planes have [R] and can choose their destinations without falling victim to my AD.

9 BATTLE OF OGADEN ltbv (bv-1 was possible)

April 14th, 1936 (Lower Ogaden Region, Hararge Province. Southern Ethiopia)

Meanwhile the war in the Ogaden had after a long hull flared up again. Prodded by both Mussolini and Badoglio, Graziani at last resumed, or prepared to resume his advance.

In the lower Ogaden, between the Webbi Shebelli river and the Tug Fafan River, were Graziani's MOST EXPERIENCED TROOPS, the Libyan Division of General Nasi. They were concentrating around Danane which Olol Dinke had in January occupied without opposition.

The Ethiopians did not wait to be surprised and attacked. For the last time in the war by attacking first they attempted to disrupt a proposed offensive.

In the lower Ogaden, Abebe Damtew with his 3000-4000 levies from the south, reinforced by Makonnen Endalkatchew and his 12,000 Illubabor men, led the attack. With them came the wife of Dejaz Hapte Mikael, governor of a small southern province; her husband was sick back at home and she was commanding his troops. They had a tank, cannons from the battle of Adowa in 1896, plenty of ammunition brought by camel, and their morale was high.

Dejaz Abebe had always had a better reputation as a war-leader and fighter than his brother Ras Desta, and his men were keen to show that they could succeed where the Sidamo army had failed.

Dejaz Abebe and Dejaz Makonnen advanced against General Nasi on 14 April. Nasi advanced at the same time.

HQ: I improved another INF.

The task was simple. In the first turns you have to defend yourself, especially keep your own VH in the north. The aux in the south hold the position with great losses until the attack in the north is over and the core units can march south to support the aux.

Nice: The Proto-Panzer already has 100 exp. It is just as weak as the Italian tanks, but it works well for rolling over 1 strength units.

10 BATTLE OF GUNU GADU bv+1

April 24th, 1936 (Ogaden Region, Hararge Province, Southern Ethiopia)

The Belgian and Turk military advisers had organized a strong and defensive position in the low mountains south of Dagghabur where the Tug Jerrer River joined the Tug Fafan River. The Turk general Wehib Pasha baptized it Ethiopia's "Maginot Line".

For many months, the Ethiopians had accurately fortified Gunu Gadu and entrenched themselves in a system of caverns dug between secular trees taking advantage of the natural roughness aspect of the ground. The Ethiopian commanders were therefore proud of the fortification that they called it "Hindenburg Line" in homage to the famous Prussian strategist of World War I.

On 23 April the Turks inspected their HALF-PREPARED TRENCHES and machine-gun sites. They anxiously considered the morale of the two Guards battalions that had fled from Gorrahei only six months before. They thanked the stars of their Gods that the Belgians had gone and that they could count on some stout defenders such as Omar Samanthar and Fitaurari Baade. A second Dardanelles was hoped for.

Graziani launched his attack on the following day, 24 April.

The Italians attack from three sides and Air Italia is overpowering again. My defense was good, but my counterattack was too hesitant and so I gambled away the BV.

[Parabellum]

In the next four days there was little hand-to-hand fighting in this battle of maneuver.

The very concept of a fortified position isolated in the desert and easily outflanked was a bluff, as the Turks must have known and the Ethiopians soon found out.

***VERY IMPORTANT RULES***

FOR ONLY THE NEXT SCENARIO (scn.11):

1- You must downgrade or upgrade all your infantry units except for ("Oletta Cadets" and "Arbenyotch") into Amhara Chitet units.

2- You're not allowed to use your artillery and tank units.

11 ATTACK ON ADDIS ABABA loss

July 28th, 1936 (Salale District, Shoa Province, Ethiopia)

Early in July a council was held at the monastery of Debra Libanos presided over by Bishop Abba Petros. Aberra and Asfawossen Kassa now conceived the boldest project of the war: a combined counter-attack on the Italians and the recapture of Addis Ababa.

It was not a so fantastic and aberrant project as it might at first have appeared. If the Italians had captured Addis Ababa so easily, it was because as a city Addis Ababa was almost impossible to defend. Lying as it did at the foot of the mountains, surrounded by eucalyptus forests and sprawling shapelessly over an enormous area. This was especially true against an attacking army possessing artillery.

The Ethiopians NO LONGER POSSESSED ANY ARTILLERY. But the other disadvantages which had made any defense impossible for them now made it just as difficult for the Italians.

It was a bold plan, particularly for leaders who had no means of direct communication with each other except by messengers. Its success would depend on coordination, and timing; always difficult in the best planned military operations This was never a strong point of the Ethiopians but more likely to be achieved now that there was a sprinkling of European-trained cadets in position of influence.

I did not place a core unit on the map. The aux units played alone, I didn't move them. They lost on the third turn.

12 BATTLE OF GOGETTI loss

February 18th, 1937 (Gurage Region, Shoa Province, Ethiopia)

The figure who really inspired the resistance in the south-east was one of the Italians' oldest and fiercest enemies, Dejaz Gabremariam. Sent Down from Dessie by the Emperor to reconcile Ras Desta and his Fitauraris. He had only half-succeeded in that but had wholly succeeded in restoring a fighting spirit and a coherent front against the enemy.

It was Gabremariam to whom the Sidamo nobles looked for leadership; and though Ras Desta's personal courage was never doubted, it was Gabremariam who with 4000 men had barred the Italian advance throughout the rainy season.

Ras Desta and Dejaz Gabremariam crossed into Bale and finally joined forces with Dejaz Beiene Merid. Beiene Merid had about 3000 men and the reduced army of Sidamo cannot have numbered many more.

General Nasi now took overall command of operations and ORDERED DOWN A COLUMN OF LIBYAN BATTALIONS under General Kubeddu.

On 17 February, a lorried column that came down from Addis Ababa commanded by Captain Tucci and consisting mainly of Dejaz Toclu Meshesha's Tigrean Banda made contact; on the 18th they attacked.

I did not place a unit on the map. The aux units played alone, I didn't move them. They lost on the third turn.

13 REBELLION IN SHOA loss

June 1st, 1938 (Ankoberino and Menz Regions, Shoa Province, Ethiopia)

The nobility and intelligentsia of the Ethiopian Empire had been liquidated or imprisoned and the last of its war-leaders defeated. The rank and file of its troops were disarmed. Calm was established almost everywhere except for a few scattered bands in the outlying regions of Shoa.
Bewildered, baffled and enraged by the totally unexpected and daily worsening situation in a Roman Empire which his officials had considered pacified, the Italians directed their first fury.

The killing of the clergy and the monks of Debra Libanos was at first hardly believed. The horror when the news was confirmed led instinctively to rebellion. Their leaders had been treacherously killed. Their clergy had been treacherously massacred. Like any race faced with extermination they instinctively rebelled.

Cavallero, the new troop commander, took up his command on 12 Jan. 1938. He wasted no time. Italian columns started marching out against the rebels. It was the beginning of a year of marching and counter-marching, maneuvering over lands of almost inconceivable grandeur where mountains range after mountain range stretched away unendingly to unseen horizons.

On 1 June, He moved columns hastily into position AROUND THE ANKOBER MOUNTAINS. The object was to trap Abebe Aregai and stop him slipping across the Imperial Highway into the almost impenetrable heartland of Menz.

I did not place a unit on the map. The aux units played alone, I didn't move them. They lost in the second turn.

14 BATTLE FOR BURIE AND DEBRA MARKOS loss

February 24th, 1941 (Gojjam Province, Ethiopia)

On 6 Nov. 1940, Major Orde Wingate arrived in Khartoum having been sent down from Cairo to work in close liaison with, and as a staff officer to, Haile Selassie.
The plan then was for the Emperor to cross the frontier. He would be escorted by his own personal bodyguard of noblemen, by the 2nd Ethiopian, the only moderately well-trained refugee battalion, by No.1 Op Centre and by the Sudanese troops of Boustead's Frontier Btn.

The Emperor and his men were flown from Khartoum to the hamlet of Um Idla near the border on 20 Jan. A place Wingate had chosen as being "practically incapable of detection or interception by the enemy". There was not then, nor was there ever be, any question of Haile Selassie leading his troops in person: his person was too valuable to risk. He and his bodyguard of noblemen followed behind where Wingate and others led.

Wingate had reached Um Idla a few days before the Emperor, almost simultaneously with Boyle's 2nd Ethiopian. For this stage of the invasion of Gojjam there was no danger at all. The sole object was to assemble the different entities of Gideon Force in the interior where Boustead's 4 companies were already in position.

The small town of Burie barred the road to Debra Markos, capital of Gojjam. A LINE OF FORTIFIED POSTS stretched behind it towards Debra Markos.

Gideon Force moved forward slowly by day on 24 Feb.

I did not place a unit on the map. The aux units played alone, I didn't move them. They lost in the 26th turn.

Well... you did finish this (somehow)

If you have the svegame from the end of scen 10 - you could really finish it as a NCO

[Parabellum]

Yes, the ending is without glory or glamor - it is historically correct.
I will follow the restrictions and alternatively end the campaign (with rules).
