Inspired by driscoles and his postings about small unit-gaming, I builded two forces for darkest africa.

First my belgians, pretty much as driscoles suggested them.
-heroe
-2 scouts
-4 man squad trained askaris
-2x3 man squads one raw askaris, one veteran+leader
-5 girl bagagge



And the salvers following Ibn Ibn Ali.

-heroe
-4 man squad with swords and a shotgun
-4 man squad with muskets
-3 man squad with rifle, musket
-5 camel bagagge



...and a small steamer.



I am really looking forward gaming these...

Cheers,
DV

Super models, some great painting.  Who makes the hut?

Great work!! I'd also be interested to see how these small games play out.

Do you modify the rules at all? I imagine units would be suppressed out of existence in short order!

[Plynkes]

Not necessarily. If the units opposing them are also small then they won't be taking as many hits as they would in a game with big units.

[Christian]

Well put!
