Lion of Judah: The War for Ethiopia, 1935-1941

Two campaigns for Ethiopia: Italy vs. Ethiopia in 1935–36, and the British Commonwealth and Ethiopia vs. Italy in 1940–41. Players command divisions, brigades, regiments, warrior levies, tribal bands, armor, air power, and headquarters across difficult terrain, managing supply, movement, and activation. The campaigns combine conventional warfare with guerrilla activity, rebellions, diplomacy, and rear-area operations. Random events govern political pressure, reinforcements, foreign weapons, blockade runners, and other historical developments.
