I've looked at the places I know of on the net and haven't found a Darkest Africa varient for TSATF. Where is it?
How can I find it?
I've been playing around with scenarios set in Nyasaland. I'm affraid my TSATF book is rather old. I can make up my own rules, but I'd like to see the 'official' version. I'm sure I'll miss something, or many things, otherwise.

The Sword In Africa is a section at the back of TSATF 20th anniversary edition, and I feel it is alone worth the cost of this set of rules.

Paul is correct, it even has scenarios.

The Sword in Africa is quite versatile: I use it for pirates.

TSATF 20th Anniversary Edition, including "The Sword In Africa" Variant, is available exclusively from the author/publisher, Larry Brom, via the Sergeants 3 Website at sergeants3.com/index.html

Okay, so shoot me, but you may also wish to know there is a set of four Game Decks for TSIA available from TVAG that cover unit Movement and Events on the table top, as well as Events for map games including cross country Safari's and Riverine travel.

You may follow this link to the Safari Deck and scroll down to see all four and what they can offer to your games.

The Sword in Africa works very well. Just don't be fooled into including any expensive troop types in your army. They die to fire JUST as easily as the cheapest troops.

Is there a point list I am over looking?
