If my regular blog readers have not already paid Archduke Piccolo's blog a visit in the past few days, I thoroughly recommend that they do as soon as possible!
He has started a new campaign, this time set in Darkest Aithiops (Africa), where one of the major Colonial powers (the Azeitonians ... who are based on the Portuguese) are mounting an operation to reach the semi-mystical Montanhas Diamante (Diamond Mountains).
An expedition, led by Tenente-Coronel Joao Pablo Relaxado (the Governor), is advancing into the territory controlled by the m'Butu. The m'Butu are a peaceable people, but their Chief (Bara Kuta) will not sit idly by whilst the Azeitonians march through his tribal area, taking what they want as they proceed.
The m'Butu are not the only native power in the area. Sheikh El Bazir controls the nomadic desert-dwelling Touaouin (pronounced Twawin), who are renown fighters, and ooperating from the island of Zanzingabar there is a force of corsairs led by Wazir Yezdi. The Touaouin and Zanzingabar can be relied upon to exploit any opportunities for plunder and mayhem ... should they arise.
The stage is set, and the Azeitonians are on the march ...

Hello there Bob,
ReplyDeleteI saw this and am eagerly awaiting developments! I really like the map and the whole thing just screams ‘Madasahatta!’ The Archduke has set the scene so I shall sit back and let the drama unfold and no doubt be suitably inspired!
All the best,
DC
David Crook,
DeleteIf the Blacklands War campaign is anything to go by, this is going to be a very enjoyable campaign to follow. I love the map and the background, and it fits very well into the imagi-world of Madasahatta.
All the best,
Bob
Wow! Bob, I thank you. After a plug like that, Paul and I will have to come up with something special! I'll just have to see if I can't get the battle wrote up later today...
ReplyDeleteCheers,

DeleteI doubt if you will have any trouble captivating your audience! The background scenario has set up all sorts of possibilities ... and it will be interesting to see how they pan out.
All the best,
Bob
