The Fourth Shore; some motivation for ITA to keep Lybia

[dec152000]

Hi,

right now I've avoided having FRA defend the border heavilly as it incurs Attrition in those provinces. ITRW there were actually some fortifications there on both sides.

I have tried to find historical information about the whole "bribe Haile Selassie" business and found absolutely nothing.
- Can anyone help me out with that?

Hi,

No idea where that material was originally sourced. Probably ported over from CORE 1 based on the version number.

Quite probably little to no historical justification, so might be a candidate for deletion.

According to the italian Wikipedia entries on the two libyan divisions 1a and 2a Divisione libica, they were organised in the "Corpo d'Armata libico", the 21. corps of the italian army led by Sebastiano Gallina.
The only source telling anything at all about him I found was this book on the history of Ethiopia.

He is not in the game right now and I would like to add him, if appropriate, so the Corps can be spawned with its proper leader. To do that, however, I need a bit more source. If anyone could spend a bit of time and patience to help me seek, it would be much appreciated.

Hè, that did help a lot. The birth date led me to this collection of newspaper articles and this forum page, which should provide enough contemporary information.
