Looking at including a WW1 scenario from Africa for this year's games week. Paul has a gunboat that he's been working on and there are a couple of other little things we have between us that will all help make for a great game. Anyway, I've dug out my German East Africa collection for tidying up, and here is the first part of it...
x6 Field Companies, each commanded by a German officer, x3 companies are detailed as 'defense' and include a machinegun platoon, while x3 are detailed as 'assault' and can be reinforced by 'support' or Ruga-Ruga platoons as required
Most of the figures are by HaT, although there are a few minor conversions amongst the support units
This is the regimental HQ which includes two machinegun platoons and a medium (17cm) mortar platoon, these are usually wagon or mule transported
x2 companies of German Marines, mostly Revell figues.
I do love this period, very nice AL.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! A very underplayed period.
ReplyDeletealways nice too see airfix figs being used.the german officer pointing too the map gets alot of uses in alot of differant uniforms. nice collection.
ReplyDeleteA very i teresting period, and much ignored by wargamers. Von Lettow was a very skilful commander although fighting a war impossible to win
ReplyDeleteinteresting! I hope that there will be games in the near future with these figs
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Al - looking forward to the AAR!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Thoughtful comments lads, now to start looking at options and rules for river craft
