Absolutely great! Great boards, great minis, great buildings!

BTW: the big round tower on the board - can you tell me where you got it? I wanted to buy this one too, but I simply forgot were i have seen it :roll:

And BTW 2: six players where involved in your game. Does TSatF work well with six players? Well there are other rulesets out there where you can play with more than 2 players, but it becomes quite boring, because you just have to wait most of the time....

Gruss, Hagen

Hallo Hagen - thanks for the comments.  The rules worked well with many players.  With the card activation system, you don't have long to wait until your turn to move or fire.

@Prof - I would also like to know from which manufacturer is the round tower and the other tower where the Gardner MG was positioned.

Splendid! Everything is phenomenal!

I would have hated to have played the British. I can feel myself sweating reading that report.

@Morten - there were about 80 British/Sikhs/Askari vs 180 Mahdists (that kept coming back to life!)

excellent, figures, excellent terrain, excellent report. overall just excellent!

I always like to see the British forces form squares and fight it out with the bayonet against impossible odds! :)

Absolutely fantastic!

Love the terrain, and table - could easly be used for some pulp heat, too  8)

If I may answer for Driscoles and Grimm - the table is indeed being used for Pulp.  If you visit Tactica, you will see it in its Pulp format!

On behalf of all responsible for the above game, thanks for all your kind comments!

For all ye interested in the Sudan, I have a question.  Where do these lovely houses and town walls come from (Pic from this month's Wargames Illustrated):

No - Not ours - though the buildings are - part of the Islamic range, which comes with a choice of either flat or domed roof

I think the pointed thatch huts are from Hovels.

Post by: Argonor on January 25, 2007, 08:33:39 AM
Yep, that's it. Just checked.... If they are not, they are very much like that from Hovels anyway....

Excellent work !
Could you  tell us which manucfaturers are engaged in the battle ! Some looks like Perry's ?

Post by: dominic on January 26, 2007, 10:42:37 AM
Thanks!
The Brits are all Perrys.
The Sikhs are Foundry (but Perry sculpts)

The Mahdists are a mix of some Perrys, OGs, Foundries and Falcon USA.
