Campaign in Darkest Africa: French Inch Toward Abomey
Colonel Dodds leads about 4000 troops through Dahomey using the Wheme river as a highway. Fierce resistance by King Behanzin slows the advance as French forces seize Tako and other fortifications, pushing toward Abomey with heavy fighting and significant casualties on both sides. Colonel Dodds earns a brigadier general rank while Behanzin defends the throne to the end.
