Ogaden 1977 allows you to replay the dispute between Ethiopia and Somalia over the large desert region of Ogaden between 1977 and 1978. Somalia must quickly seize all the key points in the region before Ethiopia is able to defend itself. Ethiopia seeks to slow down the enemy's offensive by relying on imminent Soviet support.

Ogaden 1977 is played in 21 turns, each representing two weeks between June 1, 1977, and March 31, 1978. It pits two opposing players, representing Somalia and Ethiopia in the Horn of Africa, against each other over the vast Ogaden territory controlled by Ethiopia but populated by Somali tribes.

• Initially, Somali forces have the initiative and the numbers to seize Ogaden.

• But Ethiopia will eventually become more powerful, especially in the air.

Event cards will allow you to renew the game with a variety of diplomatic, military, political, or economic fluctuations.

The USSR, which initially supported Somalia, did not appreciate the assault on another socialist state and risked changing sides to support a more important country... What would the US do then?
