Sudan Dervish infantry basing

Peter Pigs Patrols in the Sudan are execelleng fun with a good hands for both sides to be victorious. Or at least to lose

Chris Peers' "Death in the Dark Continent" is supposed to be good, and others in my group have used it and say it's good. I've his "Too few to fight" colonials to Indian Wars in the Americas and that's good and I suspect is workable quite nicely as well.

Also, artillery and superglue. Always ends as artillery in bits on desk, fingers glued together, me swearing. Now I only do that twice, practice means I can get it right third time now

Thanks for the suggestions anent rules. I tried 'A Good Dusting' but it is full of holes. The Peter Pig sound interesting and there was an Indian Mutiny game at my club recently which used 'The Gatling's Jammed' so I might give that a shufti too.

I just bought Peter Pig's Patrols in the Sudan last week. Lots of good stuff in it. New version 2012.

Anent? Goodness me.

Principles of War : Colonial gives a good fun game for the period.

Random number of units in the Army
Random General quality
Random number of units a General can move each turn
Random unit sizes (you find out when they shoot, get shot at, or enter combat)

all in all its bloody chaos, but a whole load of fun.

Ok its a very old set but can usually be picked up on Ebay for a quid or so.

Pleasure!

PiTS were almost enough to tempt me into a new game/period and armies, and I don't even really like Colonial Era games

Anent? Goodness me.

Yes, I am a proud member of the Society for the Preservation of Anent, a body created by the editor of the 'Scottish Review of Books' when the Kirk discontinued the use of this fine word in its business papers.

I have now decided that I hate painting bases almost as much as making artillery  .
