Chairman Bob's kinetic REGULATIONS for ALL air warfare in Africa.

As decreed:
1. Defender nominates table edge as the direction of opposing capital/airbase (this affects attacker payload/loiter time, and entry edge for attacker passes)

2. In secret defender draws air defence plan, emplacing limited observation/warning resources off table and air defence sites on table (for bush base raids, anything and everything from MANPADS down to HMG)

3. Attacker now nominates point on his chosen entry edge and an exit point on opposite edge.
Draw a line between the two and determine a 30cm wide danger space for attacks along that path. (Aircraft can't deviate from a nominated path on each pass across the table)

4. Air and AA attacks are of two Kinds, Gun/missile or HE.

5. Get a bag of cotton balls (yes, Wellsian) one colour is HE, the other gun/missile

6. with the attackers path across the table known, compare it with the fields of fire/danger space of the now revealed defenders AA Plan.

6. Where they cross the air player gets attacked and may attack from.

7. Attacks get resolved "kinetically" by underhand tossing the balls along the danger space from a metres distance from the closest table edge (releasing the cotton balls below table level - think uphill lawn bowls with grenades). HE landing in the danger space attack all models within N inches, gun/missile attack models in contact.

8. during each pass move the model along its nominated path from one point of intersecting defensive fire to the next. . After the last point of intersection and attacks are resolved. One pass is complete.

9. Repeat the process (subject to available fuel/ammo/damage but the attacker may choose flight path now knowing where defenders have deployed

Similarly an FAC aircraft would make passes spotting for artillery correction

UMGAWALAND HISTORY 18th Century 1748 - Sir Humphrey Luxury-Yacht (late of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, England) of the East India Trading Company landed in Botungo Bay and established a trading outpost. Initial commodities for trade were bananas, coconuts, sugar and spices. 1750 - Because of population expansion at the EITC Botungo Bay trading post, a charter was granted to found a city and the name was changed to New Cholmondeley (in honour of Sir Humphrey's birth place). 1799 - The first coffee crop was planted, which would eventually lead to greater wealth generated in the colony. 19th Century 1808 - During the Napoleonic Wars, French privateers sought to wreak havoc on maritime trade along the eastern coast of Imagiafrica. One French ship, the "Blaireau en Colère", ran aground just south of New Cholmondeley. The crew was captured by the local militia. The French sailors must have enjoyed their captivity, describing it as "rather pleasant". Many stayed,

WELCOME TO IMAGIAFRICA Bush Wars at the Nunawading Wargames Association had its genesis back in 2014 when I and Cameron Dickson discussed the possibility of running a wargame based on the movie "The Wild Geese". The concept plodded along with both of us purchasing some figures and models that would later serve as the components for the Wild Geese game. In late 2016, there seemed to be renewed interest and by January, 2017, the entire concept exploded onto the NWA scene as the fictitious continent of Imagiafrica was created with equally fictitious countries emerging militarily, politically and geographically. After a year's worth of posting on the NWA Facebook Group page, this Blog was set up to free up space on Facebook and to allow for some more entertaining posts to be shown to the world. The original guidelines are basic - keep it cheap and keep it fun! It was never a project that should cost an arm and a leg. Initially it was suggested, to keep it cheap, to bu
