Tales of the King's African Rifles?
« on: September 11, 2008, 06:40:46 PM »
All,
     There used to be a gamer's website that included several good scenarios for KAR vs. tribesmen. I can't recall the URL, and Google gives me nothing but a WWII era memoir. Can anyone point me to it?

                                                                                                   Nick

It is a shame that the scenarios did not end up on one of the Colonial or WWI Yahoo groups.

The Wayback Machine, eh? Is that the thing those boffins are messing about with in Switzerland, then? That thing that's going to destroy the world?

Thanks, Allen. Nice one.
