I think I'm making very rapid progress (for me, that is!); perhaps I will post a review of the rules when I've played around with them a little.<br /><br />Huh, I didn't know that Old Glory made Lost Tribesmen. As is often the case with them, pictures are few and hard to find, but still... Is there *anything* that they don't make?Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-88679927583178138812016-08-26T11:13:03.650+01:002016-08-26T11:13:03.650+01:00But who was that white man?

(I think he's me favourite of the lot of them!) <br />This may just be the nudge I needed to dig out my Congo-expedition stuff (Old Glory).Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-3424319777492177312016-08-25T18:54:01.558+01:002016-08-25T18:54:01.558+01:00Thanks, HW.

I'm a little way off being able to field either a White Man Expedition or a Forest Tribe yet, though.<br /><br />I've only read through the rules once so far; on that basis I can safely say that I'm looking forward greatly to playing the game. In other words, I haven't spotted anything that puts me off, so far :-) . My views will probably be a bit more informed and useful after I've had a bit longer to play around with the game...Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-75658672062867086162016-08-25T18:47:32.857+01:002016-08-25T18:47:32.857+01:00Thanks, dGG.
