Title: German East Africa: Outpost Attack AAR
Post by: joekano on 24 August 2014, 03:45:11 AM: I was able to meet up with some folks for an African game today that involved a joint British/native raid on a German outpost.

We ended up having to call game the game due to time, but with the amount of British blood spilled we had to call it a German victory.

Details and more photos can be found on the blog:

It's by far the best African savannah terrain that I've ever seen in person, and the buildings really add to the period feel. Next time I will finish painting up my archers so they don't spoil the look of your wonderful photos, Chris ;)

Also thanks to LAF for connecting the three of us--never would have known that there were other Darkest Africa players in the area if it wasn't for this forum!

Post by: joekano on 26 August 2014, 03:24:33 PM: Thanks Everyone! I'm still working on terrain, so there should be more options available in the future. Steve also has a collection as well (we're building up to his gunboat), so I think we should be able to put on a variety of games.

I haven't seen that film before - will definitely have to check it out!
