Germans vs South Africans in GSWA 1914-15 game report

[Happy Wanderer]

Gents,

I’ve posted a rather comprehensive battle report and some thoughts on the boardgame Windhoek. Whilst it is a boardgame report it would make a good campaign vehicle for miniatures so thought it might still be of value and show some of the possibilities.

Askari miniature do some nice GSWA troops, who were exclusively Germans (ie no askaris) and suitable British looking troops in Africa in WW1, plus armoured cars, planes and armoured trains, etc provide for a different type of Great War clash.

Please feel free to pop over and have a read.

Regards

Happy Wanderer

...you’re welcome 😉

Hopefully this game will come out as a Vassal module which would facilitate online play and game set up for an easy to run campaign.

The game is quite user friendly and opens up a number of strategic and tactical options for miniatures play.

...no sooner said!

It turns out a Vassal module has just been completed and it's a very nice one...thanks to whomever created it. Now you can run your campaign digitally.

Thank you for doing this. Many years ago I collected and gamed GEA in 15mm.  Looked at SWA as another possibility but never had the courage to get into it.
Seems be be quite a wealth of info coming out now.
