He deserves the immortality of paper - when the internet has dissolved and updates and even newer technology has cut off the electronic past, the book will survive. M.

As a boy I was rather pro-Plains Indians, my father having been shocked by Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, so 'B Troop...' sounds interesting.<br /><br />Darkest Africa - now that was a craze! I didn't really go for it, but I have figures (Belgian Force Publique) that are waiting for a Lettow Vorbeck outing.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-4135185636225593312013-05-21T15:10:33.557-07:002013-05-21T15:10:33.557-07:00I see that you've just blogged about TSATF - I...I see that you've just blogged about TSATF - I'll pop over and read.

I remember someone converting it for the Sudan and it seemed like a lot of fun and very solo-possible. They might pop up on e-bay, or in the bring and buy at a show, they may even be downloadable somewhere.<br /><br />Conrad has a point... I have been looking into 'Darkest Africa' recently... well reading a few Wilbur Smith books anyway. The Sudan has however always been on the to-do list, which isn't quite as long as you might think!
