I've been doing some reading on Italian East Africa and the campaign/battles that were fought there, and, I must say, it's a very interesting subject.
IMO, the British fought superbly, both when outnumbered and when enjoying superior strength. Their victories where awesome, and even their defeats they managed brilliantly, always quitting at the right time instead of being stubborn about the whole thing and suffering needles casualties as a result.
The Italians are more of a mixed bag. They had their moments, but overall, their performance was not exactly awe-inspiring.
Now, the question to you, dear members of AH.com, is if you can come up with ways for the axis forces in the area to do better. It can be minor tweeks, different decisions but also bigger changes that should mainly result in the Italians doing better instead of the British making unforced errors. The later the changes, the better.
I have a few ideas which I might include in a mini-TL I'm thinking of doing, but thought I should see what people here think as well.
First prize goes to anyone who manages to keep them fighting long enough for a more successful Japan to sort-of come to their aid for a while.
