Are these full battles or just sections to fit with the scale of TSATF?

Excellent news

Do you have a date for when they will be in the UK?

Just went to the top of my Christmas list!

Not in yet at OMM.

Tim has been having some computer problems and asked me to post this reply:

"The scenarios represent the entire battle. We used 25mm figures in 8 man units to represent a battalion. The 8 man unit concept was pioneered by Mark Fastoso in his Italians vs Ethiopians book years ago and has been used in five other TS&TF books. In most cases the British have 6-8 battalions, which translates then into 6-8 units. In two of the battles: Om Warragut and Handub, the units on the board represent smaller units of Egyptian infantry. Victory Conditions are based on what each side was trying to accomplish: capture villages, capture hill tops, kill enemy units, free prisoners, etc.

The book has been published and is being mailed out to vendors. So they should be available shortly."

Thank you.

Having a long time interest in the Sudan campaigns I will be purchasing this book as soon as spare funds become available.

Cheers,
