MAFRICA

Mythical Mafrica

Originally crafted by Jack Scruby, HistoriFigs is honored to reintroduce his classic war game map, Mafrica. Mafrica can not be found in any atlas. This is because it is a mythical island continent where YOU create indigenous nations and imperial colonies. You pick up where Scruby left off, draw or redraw borders and roads. You name or rename terrain features and build habitations. Add and change things too. Afterwards, add war game forces of your choice to do battle.

Within Mafrica you can war game historical or fictional campaigns of any sort. For Jack, Mafrica was a fictional venue for his numerous late 19th Century European Colonial and Native Forces to war game. Any combination worked for him. Today a traditionalist may want to set up New Zululand and New Natal. That’s fine. Others might want to run pre-WWI imaginary campaigns involving combinations of indigenous and imperial alliances bearing little resemblance to history. Others may even want Mafrica for imaginary campaigns from antiquity to well, now. For example, would you like a new campaign theater for Rommel and Montgomery? Mafrica is your ticket to that kind of imagineering and excitement.

Owning Mafrica is your opportunity for a new kind of fun and to own a piece of hobby history and lore even if all you do is frame it as a wall decoration. Your friends will need copies too…

The 18” x 24” maps are printed on heavy coated (not glossy) poster stock and are priced at $16.50 each (plus postage) and are shipped rolled in a sturdy mailing tube. Shipping to addresses in the United States is $2.50 – International shipping is $7.00 (for international customers, we can ship the map folded rather than rolled, shipping for folded maps is $3.50).

UPDATE (11/11/28) The first print run has sold out!

Special thanks go out to Gary Zaharek and Bil Protz for their individual efforts with this project.
