Title: Setting the East Ablaze - Mad Mullah Somali miniatures requirement?
Post by: Lord Raglan on November 09, 2021, 09:59:49 PM

I am considering the purchase of this supplement, but could someone please confirm how many Somali infantry and cavalry are required for the largest of the scenarios in the book?

Cheers

In that case sir, you recently cost me 200 infantry, 30 cavalry and 20 camel riders 🐫

Cracking supplement, I can't wait to give it a run out 👍

Sounds intriguing, is this a scenario book or a supplement with scenarios? Where can it be purchased?

It is a short history with scenarios for the campaigns in Somaliland and Darfur.  It can be bought from Caliver Books
