Take a look at this...
This could be interesting for some.
Some of you might be familiar with the terrain.

Oh.
Well, yes, this is World War One in Africa, in German-East Africa, to be precise. Right now, I've got hardly anything done, only a couple of units... I think I won't do anything wrong by showing them...
Some more information on the scenario: As WW1 in East Africa was nothing more than a guerilla war, this won't be anything else, i.e. the goal of this scenario will be to survive, less conquer, although both stick together, naturally.
I think enough would be said if I mentioned that one of the things that inspired this scenario was Jesús Balsinde's "Quest for El Dorado"...

About the units: The ships aren't my work. The first one was made by Morten Blaabjerg, who also does the map for the scenario (thanks a bunch).
The uniforms should be quite accurate, I think. Maybe the British (blue) are a little outdated, they're based on Boer War postcards, so if anyone could provide me with better pictures, if necessary... the Portugese and Belgian Congolese ones were made pretty much by guesswork based on the tiny black/white photographs I found at www.greatwar.org
Any comments?

I saw a postage stamps' site once, showing several pics of Tanganika colonial units of every kind and size. I'll try to search that URL again. Hope they didn't update the site.

Nope. That site has changed all of their pics... no more colonial units' stamp stuff... From pics i saw, you don't need a lot of help.

Great pics and ideas as always. For all i know, this is the first scen on Tanganika guerrillas' warfare.

PS A tip: have you tried to create a city using Morten even-odd / odd-even coordinates trick? This will allow you to create a guerrilla base impossible to occupy, or to simulate a guerrilla base on a cave...

Hmm...I think I still have those Icons I made for you half an eternity ago just for this. Perhaps I can find them again. What do you still need?
