We recently played a 200 point game using a modified scenario with three objectives. The objectives were worth more points the farther away they were from your deployment zone
For the German East African force I took:
1 Captain
1 Sniper
1 HMG
3 x Askari squads with 8 rifle
1 x Schutztruppe squad 5 rifle + LMG
1 x Naval squad 4 rifle + LMG
The French were:
1 Major,
1 x Riflemen x7 (lmg, rifle grenade),
1 x Riflemen x8 (lmg),
2 x Inexperienced Riflemen x6,
1 x Sniper,
1 x HMG
1 x Trench Raiders x6
