I've been working on my Darkest Africa project for same time now and finally managed to get some minis on the table top for some action. I used "The Men Who Would be Kings" rules using the programmed natives rules to play the game solo. For those interested here is my AAR on my blog Part 1 jonsotherwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/15/dying-for-a-drink-an-aar-part-1 Part 2 jonsotherwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/16/dying-for-a-drink-an-aar-part-2 Part 3 jonsotherwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/18/dying-for-a-drink-an-aar-part-3

Have been enjoying this on LA, but thanks for posting the links to it here too – this deserves as much coverage as it can get.

That was a fun AAR. Beautiful table and minis. Look forward to more Darkest Africa action.

Fabulous Boys Own adventure read. Shows the Solo Rules in a good light!

+1 on the beautiful table and miniatures. The solo rules look interesting.

Very nice, but the flags upside down.

Thanks guys. Dicymick@ That's the sign for distress if dying of thirst surrounded by angry natives isn't distressing then I don't know what is :) Someone always points it out every time I post up a picture of that miniature. Truth is I screwed up. It was a late night painting session and I was rushing to get the mini finished. I did a decent job on the miniature and now I'm worried about ruining him if I try to correct the mistake.

Jon, for the sake of a drink "and country" ;) – - try hanging the fig with the flag immersed in a glass of water overnight, and you should be able to rub the paper away from the staff.

PRotP it's just a pet hate of mine. No offence intended. Leave it as it is it's a talking point. I do love the great job you've done with the miniatures and scenery.

FlyXwire@ hadn't thought of that might be worth a try. Dicymick@ No offence taken mate

Excellent! Who cares if the flag is upside down.

What an excellent AAR and a beautiful table! I love the narrative you came up with to match the action and game turns. Seems like it was big fun. I venture to say there will be much more solo gaming going on these coming days….. Bravo Cheers, Sgt G
