Deedles, I think you'll find that MWWBK are an excellent set of rules for your planned Sudan games, when you're ready to get rolling some dice.

Next step is to substitute stands of 3 or 4 15mm figures for each 28mm figure, maybe scale down the units slightly so a British Company would have 32 figures (8 stands) and a native unit would have 45-48 figures (12 stands), which should look good and play just the same...

Great looking pics! That rule set sounds fun. When you substitute for the 15mm figures, are you going to change the range/movement measurements or play them as written?

Toom2, I'm planning to play the rules unchanged, as the footprint of a 32-figure unit in 15mm will be slightly larger than 8 28mm figures.

 I've got the figures to play some test games set in the Sudan, but still haven't found a range for the AZW that really fits the bill: OG15 comes close but I'm really not sure about the look of the British infantry (the helmets just don't look right), there's no sign of Blue Moon adding to their initial launch and most of the older ranges are either lacking variety of poses or particular troop types.

The rules are great fun and needed no real changes to upscale to such a large game, and only a couple of minor tweaks to better represent the particular characteristics of the battle (for example, we downgraded the NNC more than usual, and added a scenario-specific reaction test for them to see what happened when Zulus first came within charge range).
