Gents,
We took out TMWWBK for a spin pitting the Egyptian Khedive's forces led by Pasha Dasha against his arch foe, Ethiopian warlord, Ras Veygus!
A good time had by all, especially for the Egyptian player!
FYI.
Cheers

Oh, what a woeful yarn that deprived us all of the opportunity to yell "Viva, Ras Veygus!". It will take some time to recover from my deep disappointment.

Your single-fig basing looks great on your mat and they coordinate so well with your scenics.
(have admired your varied games and their visuals for years)

Wonderful looking game! I agree with jambo1, it’s terrific to see something different. I’ve read a lot on Sudan in the 2nd half of the 19th century and your game was very evocative of much of the action that went on. I hope you’ll entertain us with more adventures of Pasha Dasha and Ras Veygus.

Thanks all round chaps,
Much appreciated. Expect more adventures from the Pasha I’m sure.
...Ras Vegas is plotting his revenge!

Mine are called Abyssinians. Who's got it wrong?

“ Mine are called Abyssinians. Who's got it wrong?”
...well both are used, but more properly, Abyssinian is probably ‘more’ correct.
...now that I think about it, I prefer Abyssinian also!
