Yes, it sure is, and one thing that Clarkcommando 1983 mentioned often about these magazines, that the art is just awesome. Hope you are having a great day!
Don't forget my translating of the German East Africa News. Sadly, that source has gone silent with the forces of the British Empire taking Dar-es-Salaam and Morogoro. I am going to have to compare this Compass Schutztruppe Game with the Against the Odds magazine game, 'Guns of the Askari'. The magazine Number 38, containing that game, was published in August 2012. Thus, twelve years earlier than this new 'Schutztruppe' game from Compass. I am especially interested in comparing the maps. I am going to put this video on my big screen TV to compare the map you have displayed with the one from the Askari game. How the two games deal with the bush, jungle, and mountain terrains as well as environments of the Ocean and the lakes. I just did that with Charles Latoras channel as well. Both games seem to treat the terrain similarly with 'Schutztruppe' using bolder colors for terrain variations and 'Guns of the Askari' more muted tones. The Oceans the Lakes in the game from Against the Odds are covered with hexes, Schutztruppe does not have any water hexes, so naval combat must be occurring by the use of sea zones. Schutztruppe seems to have more railroad lines with some of them interconnected 'Guns of the Askari' having only three lines none of which meet. Guns of the Askari has a 12 page rulebook and Charles said the Schutztruppe rulebook had 62 pages. There are two articles in the magazine about WW1 in East Africa that are 18 pages in length some of the Schutztruppe rulebook probably also has the historical background of this little known part of the Great War.
You have no idea how happy I am you mentioned this! Before I started the video, I mentioned ot myself "don't forget to to give a shout-out to William Arends, especially with Dar es Salaam on the map, and then I forgot, watched the video, remembered that I forgot to mention you, then you remind me. Thank you, William. You have been so motivating for me, you have no idea, thank you! Damn, you ROCK!
Get to rolling! :)
