Took me ages to track that gatling gun down - not in the Pendraken catalogue.

[Hertsblue]

What were you informally known as?

Are Interpol getting too close?

EEEk Zoiks and 'pon my soul.... they are all done.......(well apart from the stuff I just bought)... the original armies for the Sudan are all finished (well the painting bit...still got to finish the bases) all done and dusted in less than a year... HUzzah... Her most imperial Majesty will be heartened that her special forces are now ready to make their way into the desert.

Well done that man

A true wargamers definition of 'all done', but certainly a major achievement 

Good to see you weakened and bought some more We knew you wanted to

Very effective painting 

Do you need to add flags to the "apart from..." list

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those are lovely.

[Leman]

I am becoming increasingly drawn to this conflict.

[FierceKitty]

It's great fun. And you can even use red coats one last time.

[Maenoferren]

Oh yeah and the flags

Did they take colours on campaign this late?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

One Rgt of the British army stills takes its colours on campaign. However I dont think the infantry or cavalry had them in the Sudan.

Based on the illustrations I have.....errrrr some show colours, however the majority do not... Therefore those newspaper men who sketched events were with my chaps

[Maenoferren]

The forces have filled 2 box files and half filled another. Once I get the remains (the new stuff I bought) done then I will fill all three and need a fourth for terrain.

Good man. That's exactly how it should be, always needing just one more box file!

pictures like this give what look like colours rather than company penants

Not the cavalry. I wrote to the regimental museum of the Queen's Own Lancer a year or two ago to ask.
