The twelve foot long table that was to be any brave lads graveyard
One of my brave hunkered down commands!
My other command - The Camel Corps along with Matt's Egyptian Cavalry.
First turn, the camel corps strolled through some brush got ambush then got hammered. I can see why I got more than one command
The Infantry sorting themselves in very nice lines.
Some Bazooks ambushing Daves lancers
Some Camelry appear to cut off the infantry
Straighten those ranks boys
More Mahdist mounted troops coming from the Northern end of the battlefield
Another ambush for Dave's lancers to ride down
Meanwhile the Egyptian Cavalry charge some massed mahdist foot
Some Fuzzy Wuzzies (Beja) attack the rear of our troops
Andy Skirmishers shooting at long range
The Camel "corps" errrr Platoon see a threat in the rear and advance to engage
Meanwhile, at my Egyptian Zariba compound, the Mahdist foot charge and get bounced by my fine lads!
Matt's Egyptian Cavalry keeping the massed foot in check.
My 2nd Battalion move out in support of Dave's Lancers
the massed foot, reform and charge again
The British Infantry have cleared the middle ground of mounted threats
More Mahdist attacking from the rear.
Dave's Lancers last stand!
Even the village are sending Fuzzy Wuzzies.
My 2nd Battalion, not only hold but bounce the Mahdist Cavalry and Camelry
Orf they rout!
The British start to form column and move swiftly on the village!
A really fun game, that kept you thinking all the time.
