Congo-The Little Village of Boumaqui

Last Sunday, myself and Graham got together for a game of Congo. We decided to play one of the main scenarios with 80 point tribes. The Boumaqui (Forest Tribes) were holding Father Marcelin captive and the Akebou (African Kingdoms) were sent to save him.

Fanatics

Married Warriors

Nicely done as usual, I was attacking from the right and left of the table, while Graham had some of his troops in the kraal guarding Father Marcelin. What made it tricky has more of his troops spanned each turn from one of the 4 corners.

My Married Warriors and Bodyguards attacked from the east but unfortunately they were shot down by bow armed troops from the north and south. They were able to take out a unit of Archers within the kraal, but it came too late....I am hoping that the good father was not eaten!

Well it seems like an age since I have won any games, I never even came close in this on. Graham felt I probably should not of spent all my points on high value units. Certainly he had 50% more units on the table than I, which made it quite a challenge. And amazingly enough for the 2nd game in a row, my Witch Doctor drew a red death head on his first cast spell.

But as usual it was a lot of fun, there is certainly nothing to dislike about Congo.
