Title: Great War Action in East Africa
Post by: tim in saskatoon on February 18, 2011, 06:20:47 AM: After finishing up a few of my East African troops I thought it was time to get them on the table! This evening we played a quick game with them. A brief report of the action and a lot of pictures can be found on my blog:

Retreat from Boongobe (http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2011/02/retreat-from-boongobe-cla-east-africa.html)

The rules we used were a mix of elements from Ever Victorious Armies and Contemptible Little Armies (I like to call them Ever Contemptible Armies).

Here's a few of the Pics...

Was it Woody Allen who said in one of his films : "Those chocolates are made in Belgium by true Belgiumites!"... or something...

Nice miniatures, nice-looking battle.
