I got this issue out early so ya'll would have a nice Christmas gaming while your family awaits you at the Christmas table, no no you really don't want to do that, well may be.

I am running low on articles and only have two left after this issue, so while everyone's on vacation how about a short article or letter or ANYTHING! Please.

I know Dixon has come out with five or six packs of figures for their Dahomey range, unfortunately I have not seen them. I understand the pack contain four figures each with, currently, three French packs and two native packs.

I think that the Foundry has come out with Azande figures and some new Belgians but I have not seen them either. I think two Belgian packs and five or six Azande. Check out the Heliograph issue 112, the second issue with 110 on the cover with the Ashanti War drawing, and the "Azande Notes" article by Ron Vaughan. The article will give you a great idea for Azande organization and rules modifications.

The Foundry has their own web site now for those of you with access. www.wargamesfoundry.com

Also check out the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit figures and accessories for Darkest Africa at www.hlbs.co.uk also see www.rlbps.com

Also here are several WWI armored cars great for use on the NWF or for the Third Afghan War.
