No, we had Toska Rusa and the Afridhi as enemies in 1974 give or take a year...

Another gold mine detail! Thanks Greg! I remember you mentioning the Afridhi and Toska Rusa from the original campaign earlier, but now we are able to place it into the chronology.

I wonder if mention of the Battle of Goblin Kush in DA4 could have been a reference to events from the original campaign. Possibly also the Battle of the Neck which IIRC was between Blackmoor and Afridhi.

I suspect that Arneson originally was planning to have the Afridhi march directly towards Blackmoor avoiding the Duchy of Ten, whereas after the release of DA4, Arneson decided to go with Ritchie's decision to have them invade Ten first. ZG went along with the DA4 turn of events based on Arneson's final decision.
