This week I played scenario 2 of Congo once more. I had a few additional bits and pieces to utilise, mainly my new trees but also some skull on a stick markers.
Above Kong prowls about his lair. In the background the Trained Askari of the German African Expedition move toward the beast. Oddly the Explorer player chose not to shoot at Kong until the final turn. He was more interested in the natives who worshiped this mighty beast.
The native tribesmen surge forward. Their objective was clear - to kill the invaders. This they did with savage intensity.
The Young Warrior unit on the left would bear the brunt of the askari and soldier rifle fire. The bundukis musketmen loaded and fired as fast as they were able. They whittled down the Explorer units and - more importantly - steadily added stress tokens.
The Explorer askari from the other side of the table eventually got into the action but it was all too late. A single unit of cannibals killed, routed and ate 3 Explorer units including the soldiers, trained askari and the adventurers. All the mzungu went into the pot.
A couple of shots went into Kong's broad backside but to little effect. The natives had trounced the explorers. The spirit of Africa prevailed.
Above the leader of the forest people was overjoyed and could barely contain himself in his regular nightly address.
