ETHIOPIA VS. FASCIST ITALY 1935-1937
A Prelude to the Second World War
Fascist Italy's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia set the world on course for World War Two. The failure of the League of Nations to deter Fascist aggression led to policies of appeasement, the rise of the Axis, the Spanish Civil War, and Hitler's march into the Rhineland.
In this easy-to-play, straightforward solitaire game, you are the beleaguered Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I (1892-1975). Take charge of Ethiopia's defenses, call up troops, and call on the League of Nations as Italy tries to enlarge her empire at your expense.
Send your regional "Ras" warlords into battle, organize partisans, deploy your limited elite forces, and endure Italy's criminal use of mustard gas.
Your ancient Black Christian African civilization stands as a defiant symbol of anti-colonial resistance and as the first battlefield of the coming global struggle against Fascist aggression. Can you turn Mussolini's Blackshirt armies back, prevent the fall of Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, and change the course of history?
