The Road to Themyscyra

Scenario Background:

193X. Somewhere in Central africa. Belgian Congo.
The two native women with ebony skin were around a fire, inside the priestess' hut.
After a deep sigh, the Priestess Khanysha of the Bana Tribe spoke:
"The omens are baleful... The white men are coming... The Goddess Queen will be upset..."
"So be it, they will pay with blood for their sacrilege" replied with rude tone the Chieftain Saada of the Bana Tribe

meanwhile, far far away...

Captain Littorio was annoyed... He had received some bad news.
"So our friends have forged a temporary alliance with the Force Publique of Professeur Godart.
I'm surprised, I thought that the old man was too proud to accept the help of his old rival.
"
The woman with blond hair and cold blue eyes smiled.
"This means that YOU are too proud to accept our help, my dear comrade?"
Captain Littorio sighs and said with his best diplomatic words:
"The Legio Prometheus could not ignore suggestions from our Gabinetto RS/33 High Command.
We will be happy to accept the assistance of the Red Ribbon
"
but inside himself he thought that this assistance could have an expensive price...

The scenario is ispired by "forbidden city" (perilious island expansion) with bystanders.
It should be the fourth scenario of my campaign about "The Lost city of Themyscira", end of ACT I
Special: A league win the scenario if it could find the hidden pathways to the forbidden city (the two gates in the bystaders' corner).
To find the hidden pathways, a league must win all the three plot points. A league could win the scenario if the enemy are all out of play too.
Allies: from the second turn, each league could receive aid from allies. Each league will roll a 1d6. With a 4+ an allied league will be randomly deployed in one one of the three corners not occupied by the hidden pathways. The allied league are: Red Ribbon (Littorio's allies) & Force Publique (Bakers' allies). They will play during the same initiative of the main league.
