Gaming - Sudan . A last run out

 This weekend saw a run out for a small portion of the Sudan collection .the Egyptian army was sent to quell a rebellion . Now if you know you history, you will know where this goes 😆. 

The table was set up at 16x6 with the column having to travel across it to the rebellious village. What could possible go wrong . 

The Bashi Bazooks scout ahead 
 

Gendarmes lead the colum off .

They actually look pretty organised! 

 

The village openly displays its allegiance.

Dervish riflemen appear in rocks .

The Egyptian 4th Infantry took the full force and held a first round of melee , but the Dervish Emir brought inn yet more forces wrapping around the square.

The 4th Egyptian were wiped out as the square face collapsed with Martins epic dice rolls .

The flank guard of the Egyptian camel corps formed its own square . It would later be annihilated by a Dervish ambush 

 

 The village remained in revolt  great fun game . 

This will be the last run out of this collection as I have made decision to have a major thin out to enable me to progress onto new projects . Some parts will indeed be kept and redeployed to the Hindu Kush . The rest will be available via Colonel Bills in due course . 

Building this collection has been a real joy over the last 11 years - and I must admit the building of these is the real joy for me . It has figures from every manufacturer who has done Sudan stuff. It has conversions and scratch built stuff too. I have played all the huge games it was designed for . It’s been to major shows , and in the magazines , as well as taken it to a major  film studios to use in a HBO documentary. It’s time to release it into the wild .
