Taking Manga ?

Its back to East Africa and the Sultanate of Nambuzo for my next game.  I've worked out a scenario loosely based on the battle of Tanga 1914 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tanga).

Concept: British have landed on the coast at the headland by the bay near the small port town of Manga, they will deploy their force and advance to take the town.

Map from Wikipedia..

I decided to fit the main area of action onto my gaming table, for simplicity I decided to omit the railway line and replace it with part of a line of hedging.  For the best playable setup I rotated the action area by 180 degrees...

The British forward scouting party have moved up from the landing area ....

The British troops are moving up into position. Of course the landing didn't go un-noticed and the forces of the Sultanate of Nambuzo are also moving up to defend Manga.
