Title: "Blood & Sand" Colonial games in the Soudan
Post by: Bernie on 14 October 2015, 04:12:30 PM
Hi

Pics from SELWG show at Crystal Palace of our old colonial set of rules for fighting in the Soudan

http://s1213.photobucket.com/user/BernardGanley/slideshow/Blood%20and%20Sand%20SELWG%20015

We did three battles in the end:
Battle 1: Egyptian punitive expedition against the Mahdi. Got to the river line but lost a third of the bashibazouks and gendarmerie
Battle 2: Camel Corp Column of London society on camelback that just about got away with it with very low losses except for the cavalry!
Battle 3: Late War/Kitchener era army that took apart the Mahdists in their entrenched camp

Good fun and lots of interest still in the Pendraken range of colonial figures
