Great looking figures and AAR. Definitely an under represented conflict in miniature gaming. Thanks for posting.

Cheers Ragbones. Being tempted by first battle of Gallabat with the Abysinians taking on the Mahdis dervish.

Totally agree with the above posts! A lovely looking game. It's a shame those Abyssinian figures aren't commercially available, as they look really good - they have a scrawny look that I'd guess is pretty accurate. Thank you for sharing!

I think most of them still are commercially available via stratagem games.

very good looking display ...it's of course my favourite Colonial theater..
i agree with other posters the Shoan Army is well represented and those old Stratagem Ethiopians minis are intersting...years ago i wrote to Stratagem/MW to receive a sample and make a small first ordr and never get even an answer...

Yes, years ago I looked into the possibility of getting those figures also, but like you ran into a brick wall. Shame.

Its an interesting period, the Abysinians much better armed and organised than many of Britians colonial adverseries and the Italians employed quite a lot of conscripts alongside their better troops like the Bersaglieri and their Askari.
