This is the OOC thread for the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, part of the Age of Imperialism Campaign (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=433496&page=1&pp=15); you have to be part of that campaign to play in this one. The RP thread is here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448669).

There are a number of open positions available; players who wish to participate should select a European (or African) power that could get involved and join the main RP thread as that nation or faction. Here’s the list of participants so far:The Abyssinian Empire a/k/a “Ethiopia” (Bogmihia [as a minor ally of France])
The Kingdom of Italy (Voxio)
The Austro-Hungarian Empire a/k/a “the Dual Monarchy” (Narodna Odbrana)
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (Latiatis)
The Sharif of Mecca/House of Hashim (Narodna Odbrana [as a minor ally of the Dual Monarchy])Nations in red do not have players.

This is by no means the list of all nations that might participate in the thread; other nations or factions could enter, but will have to pave the way for their entry through RP.

After some discussion with Voxio, I now (reluctantly) agree that this campaign should begin in August of 1912, just a few days after the signing of the Treaty of Vienna, with the beginning of Abyssinia’s attack on Italy’s East African colonies.

Since this is the right thread, I'm reposting my questions here:

It seems like everybody wants me to RP. A few questions for Voxio, then. Why do you say you have the upper hand? You have 10 000 soldiers against 100 000 (who are not armed only with spears, really). On a battlefield, you'd surely lose.

So, let's presume two days have passed after the beginning of the war. The Abyssinian troops have altready occupied French Somaliland and Eritrea and are moving through Somaliland. I have a few questions for you:

1) Have you been able to evacuate all your soldiers from Eritrea in only two days? If yes, how? I have already posted why I doubt you could do it.

2) Where are your troops in Somaliland (coastal cities, enclaves on the continent), because my moves depend on that.

3) Do you have any kind of defenses?
