Last Monday's game was in feudal Japan. This weekend we leapt forward 300 years to German East Africa in WW1. Talk about different flavour. All part of a healthy, balanced diet, of course.

Perhaps you already know all you need to know about the Belgian invasion of Tanganyika in 1916. Perhaps you have already wrung every last drop of wargaming excitement from it, recreated every last skirmish ever fought in the Central Zambezian miombo, and never wish to see another German colonial askari. If so, look away now.

Otherwise, you could follow the link below to my report of our game of the battle of Tabora. (Spoiler alert: the figures are 6mm proxies, not gorgeous 28mm Force Publique and Schutztruppen. But I'd like to think it's still an interesting read for some.)

And a Merry Christmas to all on TMP.

Merry Christmas to you! I liked the game and being in this area of WWI immediately grabbed my interest. Well done!

Thanks.
