Egged on by Malamute, Svennn, Cap'n B etc I've posted some pics of my Mahdists from a game we played at Triples 2009 in my gallery. They were taken on the Saturday and Sunday afternoons, when the inexplicable headaches and blurry vision had worn off

Figures are a mix of Perry and Redoubt (yes, surprisingly they worked well together whan used in separate units). The gunners are a mix of Foundry and Cannon Fodder.

The rules used were the excellent Afriboria set. They are perfect for fast-play, multi-player games and each time we've used them they gave close games which were a huge amount of fun to play. In both the demo games we played at Triples, the games were in the balance until the very last move. Thanks Rudi!

As ever, the usual excuses apply - "wargames standard painting", "old-age induced poor eyesight" etc, but please feel free to criticize at will!

Turning 50 has obviously had a positive effect on you.

Nothing wrong with these old chap, a pleasure to look at them.(my favourites are the captured artillerymen and the sneaky snipers.) Long may it continue

those are also very nice.
I use some Redoubt British. They really work well with the Perries.

Love it.

Oh see how cathartic your first post was

But we want more because these are great and everything LAF is about.

Don't leave it 50 days until the next pics let alone another 50 years

I opened my mail today and found four feathers. Looks like I am off to the Sudan then.

Good game. Only problem I can see is a lack of gunboat.

Sorry:

There's two to make up for my oversight

Not my models, and didn't get to do much in the game, but as you say essential to a good Sudan game.

Mrs Maximus would beg to differ

Thanks Bjoern! I know many would shudder at the thought of them used together, but we had figures from all the 28mm Sudan maufacturers and there were no negative comments by the paying public, so it must have been ok

Well, there's about 75 in the full album, but that might be pushing my luck

Most are the other guys' figures, but I'll see if any more are in focus (it really was difficult to see properly in the morning sessions

) and if any others ore ok, I'll post more in dribs and drabs.

Basically because I'm a idle sod.

Nice stuff GM...

Very nice table, GM... Damn, you boys are starting a Sudan craze... It's electrifying!

Good-o!

Nice to see some of your work, Gluteus.

I really like those gunners!

EDIT: And they're available on my home turf, too! Thanks Glute! I would never have known, otherwise!

Very nice miniatures and buildings! …and a really huge gaming board!

Thanks! Yes, they were for a while the only enslaved gun crew available. I ordered them from Oz, and got them painted and within a few months the Perrys decided to release their own

I've got a few of the CFM Mahdist infantry in jibbehs to, which they kindly sent as samples, and they are also very nice. They are compatible with Perry, Foundry etc which makes them well worth having - even at shipping costs from Down-under.

Sorry did I miss something?

Where are those gunners from - Eureka or someone?
