"I was going to say copy image address but that posts a link." I tried that…I'm not sure how to do it.

Nice AAR! Gotta love close fought actions like this. The table clutter is acceptable as long as it is accompanied by beer 😀

Entertaining AAR! Terrific looking figures. I love the patterns on the shields of the Maasai. The officer commanding the primary Zanzibari infantry unit deserves a promotion and a medal, as do his troops!

Thanks chaps, Yes. That officer gets a medal and a stiff drink for seeing that lot off!! Glad you enjoyed the read… HW

The figures are beautiful, I especially love the Masai. I don't know the rules but the charging natives sure seemed to move very slowly.

At least there's a cow. But no gorillas.
