Death in the Dark Continent playsheet
« on: 26 December 2015, 12:02:35 AM »
Gents,

Along with a few other projects bubbling along a notable Darkest Africa aficionado, Mac and his little lead friends, has 'twisted' my arm to have a go at Chris Peers's Death in the Dark Contient rules for a game of Darkest Africa.

http://macslittlefriends.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Death%20in%20the%20Dark%20Continent

To that end I knocked up a play sheet that is much easier to read and incorporates the amendments in the excellent (and expansive) supplement lists provided by Northstar Miniatures. Word is that perhaps we will see an updated reprint of these rules this year...however, for now, here at least is an amended QRS for the current rules.

...it's not much, but here it is for your use...merry xmas  :D

Cheers

Excellent! Still got to play a game but thanks for going to the trouble.

Hopefully it will come in useful! :)

Thanks for this. :) Are those supplemental downloads still available any more?

It would be great to see a new edition of these rules. I have the first edition and the 2nd editions seems to be to be OOP. (Hopefully there will be a ToC in the new edition!)

The supplement is not available online but if you email Nick at Northstar he may be able to sort you.

Gents,

I've updated the play sheet into a more comprehensive two-page version that incorporates many of the rules into an easy to use two sided play sheet. This has most of the game on it so should prove useful as an aide-memoire for each relevant section of the rules minimising main rules reference during play.

For your use.

Regards

Happy W
