We feel the upgrades/downgrades really give a good NW Frontier 'feel' to the forces. When we tackle Sudan, we'll tweak things differently to suit that theatre (we plan to do Egyptians vs Mahdists...)
Thanks very much for the positive comments! We had a blast!!
I am already planning an alternative scenario for shows next year involving relieving an attack on a British outpost (purchased at the show from trader selling Unfeasibly miniatures stuff - I bought their French Foreign Legion blockhouse which will make a fabulous fortified British signalling station!!!)
