Back from holiday and wondering what to play next ?, I was talking to 'S' and we got waxing lyrical about 'Old School' gaming and I started thinking - The Sword And The Flame !
I decided on using my my Congo forces - King Leopold's Force Publique versus the Azande tribesmen.
The leader of the Force Publique- Major Henry Poirot (father of the famous detective)
The Azande Cheiftan Enoch Gbudwe - educated at Eton (expeled for 'bad behavior' ) and his retinue gets the 'speaking drums' to assemble his forces .
The Cheiftans Bodyguard armed with modern weapnary sneak along the river bank.
Two groups of Azande warriors , these are 28mm Foundry Miniatures I painted up years ago.
A unit of Azande musket armed tribesmen - a mixture of Foundry and Copplestones miniatures.
The Force Publique Askaris move onto the table .
Two units of Force Publique Auxillaries , Foundry and Copplestones figures.
The table - the Force Republique nearest the camera have to cross the river at the ford and raze the village , the Azandes have to prevent this .An update as the game progresses (click on photos to enlarge)
Lovely looking table and figures, looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
