Bob. You are definitely building up a head of steam here.
Is the next Askari game Naval?

Great thread! I will have to add a steam boat (or two) to my Darkest Africa project.

Finished another run-a-round for this period at the weekend.
Warbases model t ford truck.
It’s sold as an ambulance, but filled in the Red Cross markings as I didn’t need an ambulance, just needed a truck.

Keep on trucking, Bob.
I don't suppose the need for trucks is related in any way to
having to transport bits of paddle steamers to an inland lake, by any chance?

More transport on land and water.

Finished my model T with machine gun, and showing it here with the new model t truck from last wee.





Also finished my homemade paddle steamer.
Armed with just a few guns.

Great work on the steamer!   Looks to me that if you open the throttle, that thing is gonna fly up river!

Gives me ideas for my own.

Great job on the Model T's Bob!
I can't help feeling the paddle steamer needs a back end section though- The paddle wheels were in the centre of all the double ones I have seen, there must be some sound engineering reason why. But great work anyway.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

How many boats have you now got?
How many more before there is no dry land in the next game?

There are many rear paddled examples.  I love this concept.
