Title: In search of the sources of zwambesi ! (.45 Adventure PULP)
Post by: El Comandante on August 05, 2009, 09:05:34 PM
so after we have our maneater cycle have been turning to the men a new theme or objective as follows: - the sources of Zwambesi --

this I will write a two line to line here, but sometimes the trailer poster

(http://666kb.com/i/bb9mazh52rchk0ngw.jpg)

After the maneater of Tzwapo from the Baron von Schneiding for science was shot, it turned out that this is a rare, long-lost copy of the extinct genus of sabertoothcats involved. Then inquired of Professor F.K. Kleine local natives and learned more fantastic stories. There was talk of flying devils and cannibals-human primates on the banks of the upper Zwambesi. But where exactly is the upper Zwambesi and what is actually the source of the Zwambesi? Questions by the natives with tales hair, wildly gesticulating, were insufficiently answered. And so the professor decided to F.K. Kleine is the source of the Zwambesi to find the secrets of the upper Zwambesi to track. That said, very quickly in Kawambu around and attracted, inspired by the sensational research findings of Prof. Kleine additional researchers and adventurers to.
The only "civilized" place for such an enterprise as a starting point in question came was the small jungleport of Morogu-Utete on the shores of Zwambesi.

The day is coming slowly but surely coming to an end and it remains suspiciously quiet in the Tzwapo Valley.

After the Baron of Schneiding has landed his balloon and looking around in the area occurs quite unexpectedly, a giraffe from the thicket, he would have been happy almost being caught under the hooves.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn972rzopf2dt5df.jpg)
But Obadiah had been lucky this time and is not trampled in the ostrich's nest. This very peaceful animals that might otherwise can quickly become a serious threat.

Elsewhere, the sergeant took Rees and Kptl. Hermsdorff further challenges. The Sergeant Major's settled on the instructions of an old account with this Mazulufrau and Kptl. fulfilled a long cherished dream of a lion's skin.

Both shots were and they congratulated each other. One had a lion's skin in front of the fireplace and the other the Boo ....s about it.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9bwscihlh9tw8j.jpg)
After having shot almost everything in Tzwapoland of predators is discussed the next steps.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9c00buf7awdldf.jpg)
They decided on a pincer movement on the suspected location of the ogre. On the incredibly curious Lumbimbo balloon had a little argument with the Schmetterer Francis on the further use of the balloon.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9d1mbab7abnptf.jpg)
No longer needed Zutzi drivers arrive in advanced base camp.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9d4c0a9mbf8u43.jpg)
It is dark in the sink Tzwapo the hour of the ogre is here ...

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9d6pfv5vuahu9f.jpg)
... And because he had attacked and again it is the Kptl. Hermsdorf of such predators probably magically attracts.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9ef1jhu3tuv9tf.jpg)
The Sergeant Rees can not stand the sight of long stretches and tactically clever back towards base camp. Unfortunately, he still smells after a terrible Elefantensch ... (in which he has fallen recently) so that no one wants to hear his story, preferring the wide search. (which makes no impression on the women)

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9egzxgm6mtbi43.jpg)
Since it has accidentally Schmetterer Franz (or perhaps fired intentionally?) With the anesthetic rifle at the Colonel, who also fell into a deep sleep so alike. A good but it had, as Franz was the elephant-killer ammunition which the colonel had been found recently to take up and a better shooter feeder like he said "These committees can Saupreussen eh well ... nice."

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9eicr4041udjeb.jpg)
But now ... so fresh ammunition in the direction of man-eater.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9fpikf5hwxceib.jpg)
After the Sergeant Rees was caught again, he went forward on the path to the eye of the storm and took the hill and the small Willi Mulu voluntarily or involuntarily (escape from the horrible smell) with a short right hand.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9fsb4goxb2pboz.jpg)
... Because the men but had reckoned without Lumbimbo who fearlessly (at the command of Colonel revival) on the man-eater rushed and thus the great white hunters had plenty of time to make a safe shot.

(http://666kb.com/i/bgn9fwahi2v0cbtdf.jpg)
The Lumbimbo was on its last legs and even the first shots were fired at the man-eater. Ultimately, however, the Baron of Schneiding can be proved with a single aimed shot from a revolver to end this chapter in the eye of the beast - the man-eater of Tzwapo -.

... and so ends this story ... But Africa is large and there is still much to explore hunt ähhm

Wow! wow! and triple wow!  Fabulous story and lovely looking game.  Good to see large bottles of Becks in evidence as well.  I launched the brand in the UK in the late 1980's using archive photographs from the breweries vaults, and lots of those showed contented Germans in Africa necking Bremen's finest!  How did you do the long grass terrain?  I am building some African stuff at the moment for Back of Beyond and am keen to learn.

What fun, and where would the great white hunter be if it wasn't for the willingness of his men to throw themselves (or be thrown if needed) in front of the deadly beasts.
