[Phil Portway]

Fictional 20mm East Africa game using Rapid Fire rules.                   

It is July 1939, The Nazi war machine is building in strength in Europe, having reclaimed the Rhineland and the rest of Europe is seeing military activity on Germany’s eastern border, and in Libya, North Africa. The Italian army is now secretly mobilising in Abyssinia and Eritrea since their invasion four years earlier.

@Phil... wonderful AAR.

I like the narrative around which you're building the game/campaign. Look forward to future installments. What figure brands do you have making up your various forces? (My eyes are getting old enough that I couldn't tell from the game pics.)

Thx, Bill
