Battle of Keren, a pivotal conflict within the East African Campaign of World War II. One source provides an in-depth historical summary of the battle, including the timeline from February 5 to April 1, 1941, the commanders, units involved, and significant casualties, ultimately concluding with a decisive Allied victory that secured routes to Asmara and Massawa. The second source is a detailed scenario design, likely for a wargame, titled "Against Enemy and Ground: Final Days of the Battle of Keren," which concentrates on the final phase of the battle from March 25–27, 1941. This scenario outlines the deployment, objectives, troop compositions (Italian and Commonwealth forces), and special rules to model the challenging, mountainous terrain and key defensive actions, such as the Italian roadblock in the Dongolaas gorge. Both texts emphasize the fierce resistance of the Italian and colonial troops against the British Commonwealth forces in the difficult Eritrean highlands.
