Product Description
This book is packed with rules, painting advice and ideas for making great-looking terrain. It will appeal to anyone interested in playing games such as exploration in Darkest Africa, fighting for survival and glory in Rome's gladiatorial arenas and plundering the West African coast with your band of cutthroat pirates.

Over the past twenty years or so, Foundry has published many articles on different subjects in many different magazines, some of which you may have seen but most of which I am sure you haven't.

Our guest Editor, Paul Sawyer, has sifted through those articles and has pulled a selection of them together in a nicely balanced book, themed to concentrate on Pirates and Darkest Africa, but covering other historical periods too; Aztecs, Gladiators, Greeks and Romans.

So, if you want some simple fun rules to play, some ideas on terrain making and painting then this book is for you. Enjoy.

4 out of 5 stars Quite the hodgepodge   June 15, 2010

What a bizarre collection of articles! That said, it's definitely a "fun" book. I'm not sure how Romans and Greeks fit in to "Pirates to Darkest Africa," but there's quite a bit in there on them.

Pirates - 20 pages, including terrain and ship building
Romans - 20 pages, including gladiator rules
Conquistadors, Aztecs, etc. - 26 pgs
Darkest Africa - 18 pgs
Greeks - 10 pages

At the price of 3 wargame magazines, I was satisfied with the purchase.
