Kamerun Gunboat Battle

[joekano]

This week Axabrax and I managed to get in a small game using his new river mat and my jungle terrain.  A German gunboat needed to fight its way past a French held river outpost.







The battle report can be found on the blog:

Good looking river mat.
Where's it from?

The mat is from Cigar Box Battles.

Love the terrain, figures and the gunboat.
May I ask what rules did you play?

Great looking battle ,love the mat. the Woermann shipping line will not be happy w/this outcome.

Thanks Guys! It was a really fun time, though I wish I had made it a bit father down the table (had a lot of bad dice rolls).  We used the "In The Heart of Africa"  rules by Chris Peers.

Great looking table and boat.  The Miniature Building Authority trading post is a wonderful building.  Good stuff all!  Richard

Looks like a lot of fun 

I do hope those Triffids were not man eating(?)

I agree the river section looks great.....along with the rest of the scenery.

Love those rules by Chris Peers.

When one of them sinks does it become the James Kamerun gunboat battle?

Super stufff. Nice theme (Kamaroon) and a good mix of troops...Azande, Pygmys, French, germans...what's nto to like 

german Askaris - what colors have you used...they have that nice yellowy-brown I'm trying to capture for my WW1 Gemans and Wissmanntruppe.

Cheers

I painted these several years back, so I'm guessing at the colors right now. I think the dark tones were a Games Workshop color (beastal brown?) with Vallejo desert yellow as the mid tone and and Vallejo dark sand for the highlights.
