Hi Prof, (Rick)
Great looking pictures! was it from a game or just staged for the shot? Your ground cover is great, the stuff from Michale's craft store no doubt?
Stupid me realized that we had spoken before and sorry for my memory! We are starting up a small campaign locally and if you are interested give me a call. We did a "test" game last night just as a refresher to the rules, integrating a random event card system, and work on any issues with terrain interpretation. We are trying to develop a campaign that will be very limited in time and scope so as to have it played out completely as well as one that gives the feeling of really exploring or functioning in Darkest Afrika not just different looking troops on the table trying to roll to hit......
I was interested to see you post this the very day after we were doing our game only miles away!

Steve Gausche played the first "Ju-Ju" card against me! causing a large gorilla to leap from ambush on my un-suspecting Matchlock men...The big ape carried off one of the natives into the bush never to be seen again! Moments later another "Ju-Ju" card that I picked up indicated that one of this same group stepped on a Scorpion in his haste to avoid the gorilla! He died of poison two turns later! I was able to return the favor to Steve later in the form of a crocodile attack as he crossed the "Umflosslow" river several turns later. His high stepping askaris were to quick for the croc and no one was eaten!
Bengal Club members Doug and Chick fight it out at one of the river crossings. The game was dotted with half a dozen different engagements all over the map.
