PALLAS ARMATA: For a list send a SSAE to 98 Priory Road, Tonbridge, Kent TN9 2BP. A swift summary of the events leading to the great Ethiopian victory of Adowa. Some orders of battle and standard narrative should allow you to follow the battle but the maps are not good enough to follow it clearly, one needs a tactical map as well as one for strategy. A good source for those wanting to design a game on the topic as it clearly demonstrates the pattern of strong pressure being dealt with by artillery, and once that crumbles the colonial army following it. Reading the account reminded me of Maiwand.
