Wargames Illustrated Sudan Special

[joroas]

Readers will note that YankeePedlar has an article in there this month, on his last set of rules.  Sudan will figure heavily in my buying for 2011, my painting for 2014 and my playing for 2016.  Anyone else similarly afflicted?

[Captain Blood]

Not really. I did buy a whole load of Essex Sudan War figures when they first came out (ooh, 25+ years ago?). But although I used the Brits for NW Frontier, I still have the Mahdists sitting primed and a few-part painted at the very bottom of the lead mountain...

Anyone interested in taking them off my hands?
I think it's probably time I let them go

Been there and done it in 15mm (Essex) many moons ago, although tempted, I don't have to revisit as I get to play with Dave's toy's

After I bought his rules I rehabilitated a load of Old Glory 15mms I had sitting in boxes for years.  Added quite a bit to the collection as well.  My focus in this period now is to build a nice paddle steamer.  The kits on the market just don't look that good to me.

Yes indeed, as it has for the past couple of years. Although, I'm starting to regret my younger self's ignorance of the conflict; I painted my British in redcoats! Arrgh!

No problem red coats were worn at the battle of Ginnis in 1885

Its no problem, remember folks its a game played with your toys, so you get to choose.

Really looking forward to this article (and the one on Ancient Germans) expected in the upcoming Wargames Illustrated! Got plans to start my Sudan War armies later this year using Perry Miniatures, I hope their Mahdist plastics are due for release soon.

[Grimjack]

I have seen a copy and I can honestly say, as both a gamer and student of colonial history, this may become the 'one-stop' resource for anyone who is thinking of or playing Sudan-based games - best new issue yet IMO.

[Grimjack]

Just a thought whilst I am here - does anyone have any Mahdist cavalry or foot they do not want? On the market for painted figures.

[redzed]

I'm seriously considering The Sudan in 15mm primarily as I want bigger actions.

[War In 15MM]

redzed has it right when he says that 15s provide the opportunity for large actions and the Sudan is the perfect place for those action to take place.  My Sudan collection is composed of Essex, Old Glory, Two Dragons and Minifig 15s and can be seen on the field of battle at www.warin15mm.com/The-Sudan.html

[Totleben]

Got hooked years ago, bought last year, am about to paint, will finish ... soon, will play anytime.

[Smokeyrone]

15mm Sudan has been my genre du jour for well nigh a year.  Building a Sudan specific gaming table this weekend , matter of fact.

Gosh, I had forgotten about these.  They just advertised their Zouaves in WI, so, hopefully, by Easter?
