hi to everybody
now at least i've some time to reenter the forum and dedicate myself to only things i like in my life..picking up girls and colonial wargaming :-)
years ago i found a very nice site called king's carbine on portuguese warfare in Africa…with detailed maps and oob for example in combats vs germans in SW Africa…does anybody know if i can still find it on the web?
thanks in advance
Pier

Not sure if it is the same person but Kings Carbine is a TMP member, search under the messages and you should be able to pull up his name and use the private massage function to e-mail him.

I am at work so dont have links but I think he is the gent you are after he has a Yahoo group and site Practical Soldier dealing with the Portuguese in Rennaisnace times so think it is he

Yep that's me. The site has had several setbacks the last couple of years and I've lost some pages. If you're looking for the WW1 in Southern Angola pages I'll dig'em out and send them to you (or post it on the TKC blog kingscarbine.blogspot.com for all).

I'm involved in too many projects and need to organise myself to restart the colonial articles…

Cheers,

KC

fantastic King's carbine..everything was nice on your site…i managed to find some other info on history of campaigns, uniforms ecc…what lacks to me are small tactical maps, orders of battle, story of the battle..in pratice the info necessary to set up small historical based scenarios on the table top…iy you could be so kind to send me any info of that kind…i can ..if you desire ..send you any info you need on Italian (and also French) colonial skirmishes and battles.
thanks again regards

He's quite a gem our KC when it comes to all things portuguese, his blogs and Practical Soldier site should be bookmarked by anyone with an interest.

Thanks Carlos,

What I've posted is just the tip of the iceberg… So much to do, so little time.
