Last year I had some fun with IHMN in East Africa. The relatively few number of 28mm figures required make it affordable, and gave me an area to re-awaken my painting skill in that scale.
Some time ago I came across a PDF of a 'Darkest Africa' campaign here -

but I just filed it away as interesting - maybe for another time.
Then last month it finally struck me that it could make an excellent framework for an IHMN campaign. We are using the campaign part of the rules as they are with each of 4 parties setting off into the interior. Each party will be an IHMN Company of 250 points from the first two books and any battles generated will be fought using standard IHMN rules.
The natives forces for the games will be either Herdsmen or Pygmies chosen at random from pre-set companies that I have created using the HVF Zulus as a template.
The first Campaign Night is scheduled for early May and I'll see if I can't post regular updates here.
