I noticed that on the production screen, that Addis Abeba HQ was requesting the contruction of 1 Int and 1 TAC...
Have you built your Ethiopian air force yet...
If you are still taking votes, I vote you take over and build your air force...
I wonder if you could build some Transport planes and airborne troops and drop them on Roma???
Ethiopian airborne VS El Duce and the Italian General Staff...shiver...

yea I've seen Ethiopia kick Italy out of east Africa as well. Only once though. Italy never managed to get it back because the Brits owned them in the Mediterranean and completely wiped out their navy.
I experienced exactly the same.
I'm playing GER - now I'm in 1939. I check Italy with no-fog and I find that it has lost all Somalia (I don't know exactly when), BUT anyway has divided its forces supporting Nat.Spain (in 1937) and in Albania (now in 1939) !!!
I also noted that the remaining Italian forces a few of provinces in Northern Ethiopia are only some militia bdes, despite a lot of Division in homeland and some others in Lybia ...

Well, really leadership distribution is badly done in HOI3, there is no sense having countries like sweden, romania, yugoslavia, and so on, with so poor leadership, they cant even research the mos basic doctrines
I had a similar problem when i played Italy in like 1.1 or 1.2. For some reason my troops in Ethiopia were not getting any supplies ( I have no idea why, i had supplies and im sure i had convoys). Anyway long story short Ethiopia managed to defeat my ill supplied soldiers and i was able to have a war economy pretty much the whole game because i was at war with them. The same game me and Germany destroyed Russia so its not like i didnt know what i was doing.
thats the problem with the word leadership. leadership may well be 3.3 or higher in ethopia and the same in sweden. but in the game leadership is not defined as leadership, but as something else.

And that is why I asked. Is the level reasonable to you?
I think it's a reasonable distribution. Because how would you actually play the game as a minor if their leadership is 1.0 or less? I guess there needs to be some sort of balance somewhere, even if it's not strictly realistic. Setting it at 3 means at least you can do something with leadership when playing as a minor...
Imo the leadership points for all minors should be increased a few points, maybe 3 or 4. At the moment you can't really do anything as them.
I think it's probably related to the balancing of the game. Minors were never meant to conquer much I suppose.
Even some majors have pretty low leadership, like France (13.20) and Italy (14.30). I suppose this is what happens when I start my first games as USA with 32.40 leadership. It was a bit of a shock to see France's available leadership, for a nation that big...

not really enough IC for the Fighters or bombers.
without the ability to build IC.
I could build transports but that is the only ship I can build. do not have the ability to research anymore ships either.
I was thinking disband the militias and cancel all builds. The question then is should I build ships or planes? I will have to research then build the IC to build the airforce by that time me and the british should have finished north africa. but if i go navy it will be all transports so I will have to depend on the royal navy protect my landing on rome.
All this thinking makes my head hurt. I have two very good options.
unless someone else has better ideas.
Lol... And I've only played with Italy, Finland and a couple of other minors. USA has 32,4LS? Even the Italy's 14,3 is enough for a country that does not lead the faction. IMHO tiny powers (those that are REALLY small or poor (a couple of provinces big, etc)) should have that leadership of 3, minor powers (Scandinavia, Finland, etc.) should have at least 7 (also, Finland needs an IC boost, since it can't even supply the army that it has from the beginning, or it needs to have better industrial law at start), a bit bigger powers 10 or more, and majors more than 15. It would be a lot better than majors 12-40, minors 3.
