"Came across "Call this a Ruddy Picnic" by Chris Stoesen last week. I bought it years ago before I knew him because the topic is the Anglo-Italian campaign in East Africa and I like off beat areas. It is great stuff, which is no surprise if you know Chris. I never did much with it because I was doing skirmish and it is written for company/battalion level actions. Well, given my latest interest in company/battalion level actions I just had to give it a go!

The first scenario is an Italian attack across the border into Djibouti before the French surrendered in Europe. A perfect place to test out my "defend" scenario for Battalion Forward. 6mm is not an option so we go with 15mm. No worries as there isn't a lot of armor in Djbouti.,,"
