The Kaiser's Elephants - a scenario for T&T in Darkest Africa

[DavyJones]

I recently finished my first scenario for T&T. It combines big game hunting with a skirmish between the german Schutztruppe and some poachers.

It is a scenario for two armies, trying to hunt two elephants and gathering the tusks. To add some uncertainty, the players have to reveal the elephants by exploring poo markers. For every poo marker, the player has to draw an encounter card from the deck. There are different encounters: a cheetah, an anaconda, a baboon, fierce cannibals, a cape buffalo, a crocodile and of course two elephants.

We played the scenario three times and had a lot of fun. If you want to give it a try, you can download the scenario and the encounter cards on my blog.

Ha! Nice one.


Great minds think alike, as they say, even down to the 'poo' event markers...

Thank you for sharing this. Hoping to give it a run this run. I think I have all the figures.
Just need to make some poo markers.

Great little scenario bud

Interesting idea for a game. One of our group has had a lot of trouble with elephants
in our WW1 'Askari' games. I cannot wait to see him in this scenario. Thanks for posting.
