Author Topic: Danish Congo (Read 6605 times)

After seing the release of Congo I decided to get a copy. At first I wished for a copy for my birthday, but as my wife revealed she had not bought the Congo book I ordered a copy myself. It is still on the way in the mail, but I decided to gather what miniatures i had, which could be included in the setting.

I really think this is what I have been looking for in Colonial Gaming. A skirmish game with 30-40 miniatures pr side, adventure, wild life and such.

Mostly finished minitures for White Mans Expedition.
A few VSF miniatures snuck into the image too...

Gorillas and White Mans Expedition.

Cattle.

Jungle Tribe.

I plan to look through the rules before I go out and buy more miniatures. Hopefully I can get pretty far with the collection I already have.

I think you'll be fine for forces with what you have there. If anything you'll probably be able to sort out two forces for the white men from that lot!

Are some of those Gorillas the Obelisk ones?

As I'm in the same position at the moment I'll be following this with interest.

Yeah, I have plenty of White Men, but will probably need some not so trained Askari and such.

4 of the Gorillas are from Obelisk, the 5th is from Reaper.

Look like you have a good number of figures to get started.
Still thinking about the rules.
Will wait to see some battle reports,
before I decide.

I wondered who had them all. Regretted never picking any of Jo's African animals up when I had the chance..

Yes, some standard Askari, a sprinkling of Ruga Ruga and some young warriors would do it. My own white mans column only comes to 23 figures at the 70pt mark.

Brilliant! I have plenty of Zanzibarians and Azande. Maybe this could be a thing in the coming winter.

Looks like a great start. It was a great excuse for me to pick up a few units I didn't have in the Foundry DA range. Congo will be my fall/winter project as I have a lot of painting to do.

Today I had a painting session with Dr. The Viking and since he is also very interested in trying out Congo and already have a lot of Darkest Africa figures we decided to have him join in the fun and rename the thread to Danish Congo.

Here is what I finished today:
