As ColCampbell points out, we do have balanced rules that give the indigenous people a reasonable chance of winning. Moreover, if you do a TMP Search for Herero War, you'll find that Roy Jones and Tim Abbott have done some really good Herero War scenarios. The Hereros have goals other than wiping out the Germans. Thanks a lot, Grelber. I just want to add my co-author on the Herero War book, Eric Alvarado, to Tim and my name. Eric was key to making sure the Herero War scenarios had a strong Herero perspective, not just a German one, and that the scenarios included interesting and sophisticated tactical objectives for the Hereros.

"Wasn't the American Revolution decolonization?" Lol yes, but then the US went on to colonize the rest of North America :)

"What was the end of all the show, Johnnie, Johnnie?" Ask my Colonel, for I don't know, Johnnie, my Johnnie, aha! We broke a King and we built a road -- A court-house stands where the reg'ment goed. And the river's clean where the raw blood flowed When the Widow give the party. (Bugle: Ta--rara--ra-ra-rara!)

Lol yes, but then the US went on to colonize the rest of North America :) Canada and Mexico might disagree with you there.
