Post by: Gonvalon on February 17, 2016, 07:15:44 PM: Here are some more guys in red clothes. This time frenchies. They are members of the 9th Demi Brigade. On the French side there is the problem, that my sources not clearly say what troops are involved in the fighting at Disuq. There must have been around 300 men, with some light guns. On the British side the 89th regiment under the command of Colonel Stewart attacked. It was assisted by Ottoman troops. (It´s the 89th, that is shown on the first picture.)

Title: Re: Battle for Disuq, Egypt 1801 at Tactica 2016
Post by: Gonvalon on February 17, 2016, 09:16:13 PM: Hello, marianas_gamer.
These buildings are not done by me. The game is a kind of an international project. The houses on the table all come from Chris Riordan in Canada.
The miniatures are painted by Paul Armer in England. (With a few exceptions.)
Most parts of the terrain are done by members of the THS Club in germany.
The game idea, coordination and workout is my part.
Work on the project began two years ago. And I have still more plans for games in egypt in future :-)

Post by: Gonvalon on February 21, 2016, 07:14:19 PM: Hello, Paulspence.

The Dromedaries as well as the french infantry are done by Brigade Games.
But also the Perrys will bring very nice french infantry soon. The first of them are shown on the metal workbench.

I love what you did with the Régiment des dromadaires : very vibrant colours and a unit that really 'pops' on the table. I can't wait to see pictures of the full game.

Post by: Gonvalon on February 22, 2016, 11:43:54 AM: Hello Arthur.
The oriental village from the first pictures is still packed for the journey to Hamburg :'(
So I have to improvise. With one eye closed for details the houses might go for Alexandria.
Attached one older picture of the Dromedaries, this time dismounted and in the right setting.

Fortunately I had the chance to take some pictures of our table there:

How rules went with Napoleonic

Many thanks. The rules went pretty well. Easy to understand and running smoothly. For skirmish games with about four units per player a really good choice I think but don't expect a simulation with special rules and such.

Some more impressions from the game and some words about the scenario on my blog: Here (http://montys-caravan.blogspot.de/2016/03/tactica-2016-review-2-our-games.html)

What are miniatures used for Ottoman Infantry

Post by: Gonvalon on March 12, 2016, 01:06:17 AM: The Ottoman miniatures I used are mostly Brigade Games, the Albanians are Perrys and a few came from Westfalia.
Here are same examples of the Egypt cavalry.
