The Graeme Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Just checked the CMAK Frequently Asked Questions and discovered that CMAK will cover four regions! The fourth being East Africa 1940-41! Hot Diggity Dogg! This is the British campaign to liberate Ethiopia from the Italians? Will there be any uniquely Ethiopian terrain and/or buildings? And, since it was a joint effort, Ethiopian troops alongside the British? The best book on the subject is probably Anthony Mockler's "Haile Selassie's War: The Italian-Ethiopian Campaign, 1935-1941" published by Random House in 1984. Classic work covering the politics and the battles. May possibly include the liberation of British Somaliland? Man! I'm really excited about this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................................... Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Oh man! Does this mean I get to lead Commonwealth troops against crack Italian troops on the mountain fortress of Keren? That has been a wargaming dream for years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
