  Loved ever bit of it….dawn till dusk

Thanks also to Michael for the loan of his Egyptian Cavalry who played the part of the Ottoman Gendarmerie (Jandarma ), “come to arrest the” the British in this version. Unfortunately it was they, the Jandarma and not the British that were busted by dusk

Great game.  Where did you find the historical account?  Was it from the British Regimental histories or did you have an Ottoman or Russian source as well?

We used mainly Dunsterville's own account, albeit knowing that it is riddled with personal bias.  Good enough for a game

 :o I'm not a gamer.... to see so much of what one has painted (both Turks and Tommies) in one place and in such a fantastic setting makes one go all dewey eyed. Excellent stuff. Thanks for the photos. Pleased that the South Notts Hussars gave Johnny what for on their first outing! :-* :-*

Droolworthy as ever, sir. St Basil's is a triumph, and i love that armoured car with the corrugated iron cladding. Fabulous. It would be a delight to put you chaps and Grimm together for a game. What a layout and battle that would be  :o :-*

Inspiring stuff! Which rules did you use?

Nevermind! It must have been "Setting the East Ablaze", for which I have sent a PM - thanks!

Holy mother! I think I am now properly depressed! Wooooooooooow... I don't know where to start and where to finish with my praise!

I tell you though... That church is a stunner! Me wants it!
