The Lost Outpost: A Colonial Africa AAR

[joekano]

Yesterday Axabrax and I finally managed to meet up at the local shop and play our first colonial Africa game using the "In the Heart of Africa" rules, with 600 points allotted to each side.  Steve fielded a Ruga-Ruga force, while I had a German force.


Our table consisted of a lost trading outpost on the edge of swamp.


A local German commander was tasked with reclaiming the outpost.  For this dangerous mission, he was given a detachment of crack naval troops, with help from some Azande natives and a Boer settler acting as scout.  As they approach the outpost, things look quiet.


Little do they know, a force of Ruga-Ruga and local tribesmen are waiting in the jungle for them.

If you're interested in seeing how the Germans fared on their mission, the rest of the story is up on the blog:

Fun game Chris! Very impressed by the German commander and the circle of bloodshed rounding him at the end of the game. Machine gun turned out to be quite an asset

Yeah Steve, I thought I was a dead man there at the end, but the dice were good to me.  I agree on that machine gun - only thing that kept me in the game.   If you had managed to knock it out earlier I would never have survived the Masai.
