Description

Wargames rules for the period of Exploration and Imperialism in "Darkest Africa" from 1860 to 1899.

A set of fast-play wargames rules for the period of exploration and imperial conquest in tropical Africa. Chronologically this corresponds roughly to the second half of the 19th century, while geographically it covers the region between the Zambezi River in the south, and the edge of the Sahara Desert in the north – the classic “Darkest Africa” of the explorers.

The first edition was released in October 2000. They were basically a much evolved version of the ones which were published in Wargames Illustrated as a series of articles during 1999.
