Speaking as one who has done NWF "seriously" a long time ago, and a Darkest Africa fictitious narrative style mini-campaign about 10 years ago I know what fun it can be.

As for the TSATF, you could not choose a better ruleset. It really is the business.<br /><br />I've noted the colonial centre of gravity myself. To be honest, a certain proportion of the British public seem to hold their imperial past in contempt. It is a maddening aspect of your generally pretty excellent country. <br /><br />I don't suppose you're planning raising any Scots troops? <br /><br />Regards, <br /><br />KinchConrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-10872275493101495962015-12-11T16:15:58.774+00:002015-12-11T16:15:58.774+00:00Phil,
