Egypt vs Abyssinia (Ethiopia), c.1875 - Battle of El Akerish
« on: 24 January 2020, 04:37:14 AM »
Gents,

We took out TMWWBK for a spin pitting the Egyptian Khedive's forces led by Pasha Dasha against his arch foe, Ethiopian warlord, Ras Veygus!

A good time had by all, especially for the Egyptian player!  ;)

FYI.

Cheers

Oh, what a woeful yarn that deprived us all of the opportunity to yell "Viva, Ras Veygus!".  It will take some time to recover from my deep disappointment.   :'(

Your single-fig basing looks great on your mat and they coordinate so well with your scenics.

(have admired your varied games and their visuals for years)

Wonderful looking game! I agree with jambo1, it’s terrific to see something different.  I’ve read a lot on Sudan in the 2nd half of the 19th century and your game was very evocative of much of the action that went on.  I hope you’ll entertain us with more adventures of Pasha Dasha and Ras Veygus.

Thanks all round chaps,

Much appreciated. Expect more adventures from the Pasha I’m sure.

“ Mine are called Abyssinians. Who's got it wrong?”

...well both are used, but more properly, Abyssinian is probably ‘more’ correct.


...now that I think about it, I prefer Abyssinian also!
