THE HERERO WAR (Battle of Waterberg) 1904

I got distracted for awhile to finish up my battle of Waterberg game for the Herero War of 1904 in Southwest Africa. Southwest Africa was a colony of Germany at the time. The Herero tribe revolted and made a last stand at Waterberg. Many escaped into the Kalahari desert despite the German attempt at envelopment but many died from thirst and starvation in the desert. The greenish hex borders are the thorn bush defenses the Hereros used which the Germans compared to barbed wire. I will post the counters and eventually some rules. However, the counter number is #die for close combat/number of die for ranged combat with range in hexes in parentheticals/movement points.
