Neue Map: Kamerun 1914

Beitrag von Niels »

>Kamerun 1914<


Hallo Leute,

ich habe vor kurzem meine neuste Map freigestellt.
Diese trägt den Namen "Kamerun 1914" und wie schon in meinen Maps "Deutsch-Ostafrika" und "Deutsch-Südwestafrika", hat man als Kommandeur der kolonialen Schutztruppe die Aufgabe, die Kolonie vor den Angriffen der Engländer und Franzosen zu verteidigen.

Einige Vorgeschmäker ...

Stadt in Kamerun

Regierungsgebäude der Hauptstadt ...

Innnenstadt der Hauptstadt Duala

Hafen Dualas

Ein Eingeborenen Dorf

Demnächst sollte man die Map auf SSM finden. An dieser Stelle auch nochmal ein fettes "DANKE" an General Ingo Lammers und seine tolle Mapsite.

Viel Spaß damit, details ehaltet ihr bei der Karte und im Spiel

MFG Niels

Sieht nett aus.
Ich würd die "Bordsteinkante" vielleicht rausnehmen oder etwas verschieben und den Hafen größer machen mit Lagerhäusern etc und auch da den Untergrund verändern hin zu einem Stein-/Sandgemisch. Eine kleine Kaimauer wäre auch nicht schlecht.

Danke für die Tipps, allerdings habe ich den Hafen extra klein gelassen, da der Hafen von Duala auch nicht sehr groß war, er spielt auch keine große Rolle ... Aber danke ... vielleicht werd ich da nochmal was verändern, aber die Map ist so schon an SSM gegangen ;)

Ehrlich gesagt, kenn ich mich mit MP Maps erstellen net so aus und bin mir auch nicht sicher ob die Karte so aufgeteilt werden kann, dass beide Spieler gleichwertige Ausgangspostionen hätten.

Aber wenn jemand interesse hat die Map als MP Map umzubaue, schicke ich sie ihm gerne zu ...

"Deutsch-Südwestafrika"

The German Period
German South West Africa was the very descriptive name given to Namibia when these northern Europeans staggered ashore in the territory in the early 1880's. At the Berlin Conference in 1883 Africa had been divided between various European nations - largely to the surprise of Africans. As a result Germany ended up with this arid desert land that most Europeans saw little use in claiming.

By means of purchase and /or theft (all depending on your source of information) the Germans gradually gained control of the central and southern parts of the territory that is now Namibia. One of the methods the Germans used to gain control was to exchange land for `protection', but this failed miserably when one of the strong local leaders, Hendrik Witbooi , stole the horses of the Imperial Commissioner Dr. Heinrich Goring - father of the future Nazi Air Marshall Hermann Goring. It seemed that the Germans needed protection rather than the opposite. Subsequently a new method of trying to exert control over the territory had to be attempted.

History tells us that in 1889 25 German troops under the leadership of Curt Von FranJoise landed at Walvis Bay disguised, ironically, as 'tourists'. Walvis Bay at the time was under British control, and the German troops could therefore not simply march onto British territory in full battle gear. Once the charades were finished, Von FranJoise and his men arrived in Winterhoek where they immediately began building the fortress that today hosts the National Museum of Namibia, called 'The Alte Feste'. The building marked the new militaristic style of the German Colonial presence in Namibia.

The German Colonial Administration was never fully in control of Namibia. The period between 1890-1908 was marred by many conflicts and rebellions against the Germans by the pre-colonial Namibian population. Almost a hundred thousand Hereros, Damaras, and Namas, and about a thousand Germans died because of these wars and the resulting concentration camps that were used to intern prisoners. In Germany there was a big outcry to stop these wars and especially to stop the genocide of the Herero. Of these about 60,000 people were killed, out of a total population of about 80,000.

However `savage' Africans were made out to be in those days, the worst savagery of the new century surely took place in Europe. As a result of the Sarajevo assassination the First World War broke out which meant that Germany was at war with the British Empire, in southern Africa as in Europe. In 1915, after a fast defeat to the Union troops of South Africa, Germany surrendered the administration of Namibia to the South African Prime Minister Louis Botha.
Today one can still see many reminders of the German period. Namibia is the only African country, has a daily German newspaper. There is also an abundance of German buildings and monuments, erected in the German colonial period. The German language coexists alongside the many other unofficial languages that are spoken in the country.

Thank you for that short historical details concerning this former colony.
Is there anything you wanted to say by pointing out that one phrase which is written in fat black letters ? Well if you wanted to point out that this war was fought between the south african union and germany i have to refer to the fact that there isn't any unit of the SA union present in the game ...

Für die die sich dafür interessieren kann ich nur nochmal auf die Seite:
Bild verweisen.

What I meant is that is that I am a "turned" South African and know about historical events that happened in this part of the world. :wink:

INTRODUCTION

During The Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 the Boer Republics were noy alone in their struggle for independence of Britain. Various traditional foe's had sympathies with the fledgling Republic. One must understand that the Transvaal Boers had fled the Cape Colony to establish the Transvaal Republic to be independent of foreign and particularly British rule. When various foreign volunteers reported for duty they were accepted in the light of being a source of able and trained individuals prepared to fight the British. Boer sentiment towards these individuals was basically the same as towards the British but the British were considered a larger threat. These foreign volunteers were tolerated in the name of the collective cause but were never accepted within the rank and file of the Boers. Volunteers had to overcome the language barrier by learning to speak Afrikaans, improving their horsemanship and above all shooting to the standard of the native Boer farmers.

Each corps and commando chose their own leaders from within the rank and file, these individuals were appointed with the appropriated rank as the commander. With the putbreak of the war these volunteers were organised into five main corps numbering roughly 2000 volunteers.

There were different corps, but here I just talk about:

THE GERMAN CORPS

The first was the German Corps which was organised into two commando's with Adolf Schiel commanding the corps and two field-cornets each a commando. This Corp numbered in excess of 700 men. The uniforms was typical of the Boer style making use of a wide brimmed hat turned up on the right hand side, bandoleer and boots.

Head Dress
The hat is medium grey with a blue, green, orange and white pugri.

Tunic
Overall light sand with two large breast pockets and four brass buttons.

Insignia
Most foreign volunteers carried a Vierkleur ("Four colour" of the Transvaal Republic) bow on the uniform as a distinguishing insignia.

Trousers
Overall light sand with no piping.

Boots
Black riding boots and spurs.

Weapons
Mauser rifle with the five round pouch bandoleer.
