Resources

Sources of inspiration or companies who make items that will be used for my German colonial gaming projects.

Armies in East Africa 1914-18 - A solid Osprey title dealing with The Great War in East Africa.

Blue Moon Manufacturing - Large colonial offerings at good prices, they are the figure line I am using for my Der Wind und der Löwe project.

Cotton Jim's Flags - Makes 15mm Legation and national flags, along with Arab.

Crom's Anvil - Some useful quality terrain pieces for arid/desert settings.  Friendly service to boot.

Darkest Africa - A nice colonial website, with an Arab Rebellion project, but it hasn't been updated since 2006!

Flag Dude - Sometimes trading, sometimes not, but the flags are very nice and they have a range of colonial period offerings.

German Colonial Uniforms - An amazing collection of uniform data for all German colonial wars, large and small.

Herero Wars - THE one stop source for gaming the Herero (and soon Nama)  period.  While written for The Sword and the Flame, the rules modifications could be used for any set of colonial rules.  There are several scenarios covering a variety of tactical issues.

Imperial German Colonial Overseas Troops 1885-1918 - Osprey title covering the entire period.  Like all Ospreys, there is decent info, but in this case a bit too broad of a brush.

LITKO Game Accessories - A fine source for bases.

Old Glory 15s - From 19th Century Miniatures, using parts of the Boxer Rebellion and Boer War ranges for the Herero War.

The Scene - Useful terrain pieces.

Warbases - Their 15mm circular bases used inconjunction with their movement trays should work well for handling individually mounted figures.

Warrior Peoples of East Africa 1840-1900 - Another Osprey title, this one covers the German incursions later in the 19th Century.
