Battle in Africa 1879–1914 by Howard Whitehouse

Wow, THAT was an old thread. 

Nevertheless - Howard is as nice an internet acquaintance as can be found, and his commitment to gaming, be it historical. VSF, SF, or Pulp, is a rare one. And I'm sure this publication still has a lot to offer to anyone interested in the period, and having it surface again here on LAF is not the worst that could happen 

Remember to check his latest work on the Defiance Games website: http://defiancegames.com/

Apart from these I still recommend it as a good colonial gaming book. I have nothing against Howard, au contraire, he's a pilar of the hobby and a nice bloke.

i rate the book.......you can just plonk yourself down with a coffee and dip

into it anywhwere..and yep for me the line drawings bring the period

alive!!

 I agree with Gringo.  I especially found the line drawings of the charging Hademdowah at various distances to be a very useful visual aid when reading about colonial battles.

I made the mistake of returning it to a friend after i borrowed it

yes the drawings were made by my good friend Peter Dennis.
unfortunately he's now more involved in other periods than colonial.
