"This was a two on two game with Jean-Jacques and Graham playing the Conquistadors while myself and Luis played the Aztecs.

Excellent find, thanks Tango. Great to see Congo games in temporal and spatial venues other than late 19th century Africa. The game is good for skirmish games in rough areas with combatants having asymmetric technology. I have done a number of such games: Great War in Africa (1916)
Belgian Congo Free State – Arab War (1893)
Pirates in Africa, (1700).
Skull Island, (1934)
Vikings in Newfoundland, (1000AD)
Thames: Romans vs Druids in Britain (64AD)
Ganges: British vs Thugees in India (1850) based on Nick Buxey WI article
Hudson: Last of the Mohicans (1757)
Amazon: Lost City of Z (1925) (in October base on another of Nick's articles)
Kenya Land and Freedom Army – Mau Mau vs British (1954) in development On the Congo facebook group there are many other examples.

Very nice looking game. I enjoyed the several Congo games in which I played. Even managed to kill Kong in one without aircraft. |
