Title: Italo-Ethiopian War pics & suppression counters
Post by: James Morris on 28 December 2009, 08:44:07 PM: I've added some new pics of my 28mm 1930s Italo-Ethiopian War stuff at:

New shots include Askari LMG, a truck for the Italians and Mahel Safari for the Ethiopians. They also include my newly made suppression counters for T&T.

There is a Fiat truck from Sloppy Jaloppy, which would be fitting for the theatre of war.
But from DeBonos account we know that the Italians bought foreign trucks in 1934/35 to become more mobile.

Hopefully you get the chance of adding this things to your superb article in WI.

Cheers Alexander

Also I noticed the Gondrand marker on the truck... nice touch (FYI Gondrand is company specialized in bulk moves and famous for losing stuff!)

Thanks! I'm glad you appreciated the Gondrand stencil...I based it on the photo in the Opsrey book where Blackshirts are shown disembarking from a Gondrand truck. Does Gondrand still exist then?
