New Scenario Book: Senussi Campaign, 1915-17

[ecwcaptain]

My latest “Setting the East Ablaze” (STEA) scenario book from Caliver Books is now available (see link below)...

The Senussi’s Little Miniature War, 1915-1917. All scenarios very easily adaptable for other rule sets. Order direct from Caliver Books, or in the US if you will be at HISTORICON (July 20-23), see the On Military Matters booth for a copy (while they last).

Bibliography

Author’s Biography

[Ignatieff]

It’s absolutely brilliant.  Much, much more than just a scenario book.  It’s a full campaign history!

[Sparrow]

Highly recommended

[Dr Bogo]

Likewise would highly recommend for the detailed history of the campaign alone.

[Lord Raglan]

Mine arrived yesterday, it’s a big book, packed full of great wargaming information 👍🏻

Lord Raglan,

Great, enjoy. I guess we'll expect to see a thread of Lord Raglan's Adventures in West Africa soon, with updates of your painting figures for the campaign. ;-)
