Kamerun Gunboat Battle
« on: February 26, 2016, 06:39:32 AM »
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:

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

Great looking game!!

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

Love those rules by Chris Peers.

Thanks for sharing!

When one of them sinks does it become the James Kamerun gunboat battle? :)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

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.
