ITLSU - Tanga Day One 1914

[pierre the shy]

Great game and report - loved reading it. Glad you like ITLSU, we find them a very good set of rules.

Von Lettow-Vorbeck was most displeased! He was too late! (Having arrived on the tenth turn of the Blank Card, I forgot to put the German Blinds Card in the deck!) He believed the British now occupied Tanga in too much strength. Not wishing to throw away the lives of men in 6thFK and 6th Schutzenkompanie, he chose to withdraw to fight another day.

Von Lettow-Vorbeck was very prudent in husbanding his limited resources. He went on to lead the Allies on a merry dance round Africa till 14 November 1918 when he learnt the war was over. In March 1919 he and his men returned to a hero's welcome in Berlin.
