Had a blast playing another great game of Congo as we start our Throne of Thunder campaign.

Thanks all for the kind words. Must admit I really enjoy playing Congo. The campaign looks interesting and has a number of different objectives, so it's not just about winning each game. The linear nature of the campaign is perhaps not ideal (i.e. move from one game to the next without any choice), but does make finishing the campaign achievable.

Pots and bowls are from several suppliers including

Thanks for sharing this great game and the cool miniatures and scenery. Really pleased to see the huts and pots/ bowls that I sculpted for Wargames Terrain Workshop being used on the tabletop especially in such a nice game and very well painted!

If the stars are all in alignment, we should get our next game in for the campaign in the next couple of weeks.
