About the game
A classic quote from a British trooper in East Africa as he examined his tinned “picnic ham” ration pack. And that's not the only thing that's classic about this excellent, ground-breaking scenario supplement covering the campaign in East Africa between June of 1940 and November of 1941. With twenty-three scenarios and bags of historical background they also contain a campaign system that can be used with Bag the Hun to refight the campaign in the air
