Der deutsche Kaiser hat eine Expedition, unter der Führung von
Generalfeldmarschall Alfons von Ellenberg, ausgesand. Sie soll den
deutschen Seefahrern eine Anlaufstelle in Gumba sichern, den
ungebildeten Eingeborenen die Zivilisation bringen und Vorkehrungen
treffen um die große Nachfrage des deutschen Volkes an deutschen Bananen decken zu
können.
Nach ihrer Landung in Sumbadu und der Errichtung des Hauptstützpunktes soll die Expedition sich zunächst einen Überblick über das Land verschaffen. Danach werden die Regionen Gumbas Stück für Stück zivilisiert werden und Eingeborene zur Erfüllung der Interessen des deutschen Kaiserreichs geworben und gebildet.
Alfons von Ellenberg hat neben seinen mitgereisten Truppen bereits einige ortsansässige Soldaten angeworben, um ihn bei seiner Mission zu unterstützen.
[ Alfons von Ellenberg, Generalfeldmarschall of the German Gumba forces, don't want this text to be translated. He thinks that German will be the only language officially spoken in Gumba soon! ;-) ]
[And yet, Alfons von Ellenberg is visiting a colony of Her Majesty, so he can bite me! Or he can bite a Banana! :P]
Translated from the Ellenberger Anzeiger:
The German Kaiser issued an expedition to Gumba under the leadership of Generalfeldmarshal Alfons von Ellenberg. It's purpose it to secure a safe harbour for the German Navy and German trading vessels, civilise the savages of Gumba according to German standards and, last but not least, to satisfy the need of the German people for German Bananas.
After landing in Sumbadu and establishing the Headquarters there, the expedition is to get an overview of the Gumbanese countryside. An inch by inch civilisation process is to take place immediately after that in order to motivate the native workforce to act according to their best interest and the interests of the German Kaiserreich.
Besides some German troops accompanying him, Alfons von Ellenberg has recruited native Askari soldiers to support him on his mission.

From whence did the Generalfeldmarshal recruit his forces?
ReplyDeleteOur intelligence officers have established, that von Ellenberg is brutally subduing (there cannot be another explanation) and recruiting natives from the south of Gumba.
ReplyDeleteNow if you are actually asking for the make of the miniatures... Brigade Games as far as I know. :)

Very nice miniatures and scenery, and an intriguing storyline shaping up. Following! =)
