📖 About This Game

The Battle of Tanga was the first major movement by Britain during World War 1 against the German East Africa colony. A diverse mix of colonial troops from India took part in the landings. Plagued with numerous problems, the British pressed on against the outnumbered German Schutztruppe and their Askari soldiers.
