Nama rifle fire sweeps the battlefield of Aob, and German officers and men are cut down like grass. The Germans have only two choices: seize the Nama-occupied trench on the ridge to their front, or die out in the open! Meanwhile, German gunners to the rear are running out of shells, and soon will be forced to pick up their carbines to provide fire support for the infantry storming the trench. But as German bayonets approach the Nama line, Nama leader Jakob Morenga has a trick up his sleeve. From the upcoming scenario book "The Nama Wars".
NOTE ON FRIDAY’S GAME: I had planned to run “Fight until Nightfall: Assault at Aob!” on Friday at Historicon 2018. But I ended up running “Seize or Die: Storm at Aob!” - which I had run on Thursday, and was very well received by the players -for a second time on Friday.

As German infantry storms the Nama trench at Aob, the German horse holders and wagon drivers located far to the rear think they're safely out of the battle. But then Nama leader Jakob Morenga springs his trap, and overwhelming Nama forces assault the men, horses, oxen, and precious wagon supplies from the flank and from the rear. It's time for the horse holders and drivers to drop their reins, pick up their carbines, defend man and beast, and fight to survive until night falls. From the upcoming scenario book "The Nama Wars".
