Back from our cruise and started new job on Monday. Cruise was ok, service not as good as the ship we were on in July, had a weird vibe, but it happens some time. Lots of sun, beach, and steam room so I have no room to complain.

Meanwhile, here is the next battle in the campaign. Return with me to Darkest Africa and DEFEND THE CAMP!
Here we see the camp, the attackers are Rugga Rugga mercenaries allied with the slavers
The attack on tone end of the camp was quickly driven off (Upper right corner in the picture above. There was some sterling bayonet work by one Askari in particular.
The other side of camp saw a brisk firefight...
Lt. Barnaby was once again rendered hors de combat, but Sgt. Singh ran through a hail of fire to take out the Rugga Rugga leader.
Under another hail of musket fire, he scurries back to organize the few Aksaris still in the fight.
The Rugga Rugga morale breaks and the survivors flee in to the jungle. Lt Barnaby is bandaged up yet again and the column gets a boost from winning the battle.
In a clearing, Lt Barnaby meets Dr. Bravestone who provides a shortcut through the jungle.
And some hard marching finally brings the column to the slaver's stronghold.
The fort is a small trading station with solid mid walls. Will Lt. Barnaby complete his mission?
Stay tuned for the next installment!
