The Silver Bayonet: Egypt.
« on: February 24, 2024, 12:03:46 PM »
The Silver Bayonet is moving to Egypt in May.

Here's the text from Osprey:
Face dangerous new foes, recruit new soldiers, and uncover the mysterious treasures of Ancient Egypt in two new campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play.

Somewhere beneath the shifting sands lies the forgotten knowledge of the pharaohs – magic granting power over wind and rain, life and death, and even time itself. Napoleon didn't cross the Mediterranean simply to conquer Egypt, he sought these ancient secrets. No one knows what he found, but his military victories since then speak for themselves. Now, as Bonaparte continues to burn his way through Europe, desperate nations have sent their own special units across the sea to search for a counter and end his rampage.

Egypt: Shadow of the Sphinx is a supplement for The Silver Bayonet, in which the players' special units explore the mysteries of this great land, venturing into lost cities, forbidden ruins, and even beneath the Pyramids themselves. Contained within are two campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play. Also included is a new recruitment list as well as a number of new soldier types, and the equipment that might give them an edge, but they will still have to face an array of terrifying foes, including mummies, werejackals, and serpopards, many not known to the living for more than 3,000 years...

Here at North Star, we have the new Egyptian Unit ready, and one of the new monsters, the Giant Scorpion.

They are so colourful as well, looking forward to seeing what our figure painter will do with them.

Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!

Hopefully some unarmed civilians, like an Arabian princess and some Greeks!  I already have plenty of  mummies, giant scorpions and djinn, Northstar should fill the holes in offerings rather than be too redundant.  More cultists!!!

I see on the North Star FB page that the Zombie Camel is included in the book. Well, that's just gone straight on the list for my next order  :D

Nice!

Question: How do you tell a zombie camel from a living one?
Answer: The zombie one smells better and is marginally better tempered!

Aren't scarab swarms a pre-requisite, or are they available somewhere already?
