Here's a tiny but common mistake with this "spanish" icon because in fact it's a T-26S of 1938, so the true one is an early version (the difference is in shape of turrent which is similar to BT-series):

Briefing sample.

<p>The victories at Amba Aradam and Lake Ashangi have shattered the Ethiopian center, but the campaign is not yet won.</p> <p>To the west, the armies of Ras Kassa and Ras Seyoum remain entrenched in the rugged mountains of Tembien.

Judging by the description of the challenges, it’s going to be a tough battle ) Will the Ethiopians have archers and spearmen with shields? )

Looks very promising. I admit that my knowledge of the Ethiopian campaign is very limited - basically the basic narrative from the chapter of "Mussolini's War". So, this will be an educational experience as much as anything. I am quite psyched to have a linked campaign from Ethiopia to Libya, that should be a fun experience.

An Italian propaganda film from World War II
The video shows a parade featuring Fiat-SPA 38R trucks, Obice da 149/13, Cannone da 149/35 Mod. 1901, and Cannone da 149/40 Modello 35 guns, as well as CV3/33 light tanks.
In addition to the parade, the video also includes footage of battles in Africa and Greece, where the same guns, CV3/33 tankettes (including flamethrower versions), and AB 41 armored cars can be seen.

Development update.
All 9 scenarios of Campagna d'Abissinia have been created, including the intro and outro briefings in four languages. Scenario testing is the next logical step.
Victory objectives and in-game messages will be translated after testing phase.
The armory is about to be updated; once that's done, it's back to the scenario editor.

As always, a great addition to the unit garage! One that can be used in the vanilla game too!

One small comment on the Italian army. As per John Gooch, it was terribly deficient in lorries. I don't know how you can model this in PzC (probably don't give any auxiliary Italian units any motorisation), but you should make them expensive in presige at all accounts. If your general wants a very modern core, then he should pay for it.

A convoy of German towed howitzers crosses the Soviet-German border.
The convoy includes a “Krupp Protze” artillery tractor (Krupp L 2 H 143, Kfz.69), followed by an early Krauss-Maffei KM m 8 medium half-track tractor (mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t (Sd. Kfz. 7)), and bringing up the rear is a Henschel Type 33 G army truck.
In the background of the frame, the Third Reich border sign, a barbed-wire fence, and anti-tank obstacles are visible.

Development update.

I finally linked my Panzer Corps Series project folder to Google Drive. It's something I should have done much earlier, but unfortunately I first had to lose some files (again) before learning that lesson.

The bad news is that I lost all the files for Campagna d'Abissinia and Avanti per la Vittoria.

The good news is that, since last weekend, I've doubled my efforts (though not for the Emperor), and Campagna d'Abissinia has been ready for playtesting since yesterday. The original version contained nine scenarios; the new version contains six. I removed one scenario entirely and merged two others into a single mission. All things considered, I think six scenarios are more than enough for the campaign.

I'm now working on the continuation. I just finished creating Guadalajara, the second scenario of another six-scenario campaign.

I have to admit that if this had been any other project, I probably wouldn't have started over from scratch. But I've always had a strong interest in the Italian military campaigns in Africa, so I couldn't quite bring myself to abandon it.
As you can imagine, rebuilding everything from scratch has inevitably caused some delays. Nevertheless, I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while I get the project back on track.

That's great news, and we're glad to have you back with us!

As usual, this damn censorship turns the actual flag of Nazi Germany into some kind of towel ) Good thing the flag from Mussolini's era hasn't been banned yet )))
