"Suddenly Sudan" Topic

With the impossibility of staging an ECW game this year at our annual local Train & Hobby show, we finally settled on the Sudan. Oh, well, the weather will be nicer.
I decided to run through a solo game using Black Powder for the first time. This was a "throw what you got on the table & play" sort of game – no subtilty. Just try out the gaming mechanisms.
The Anglo-Egyptians ended up narrowly winning.And the game went fairly smoothly & quickly.
Essentially, the A-Es had to travel from their camp & their riverine transport to the other end of the table.

In this game, the Nile steamers were just 'eye-candy' but they can have "bite" being heavily armed & crewed.

NB plenty of Scotsmen. "You can have too many Scotsmen" is a logical fallacy.

I still have things to do – figures on the painting desk, limber horses etc. And this represents half of the figures we'll be tabling when my pals add their forces.

All metal & plastic 20mm & 1/72 figures. Terrain, township, boats etc all scratch-built.

Nicely done

Yes, very nicely done.

This all looks fantastic to me!

Ditto what SgtGuinness said just above -- looks fantastic!

I am doing the period in 20mm -1/72 as well. Your post and photos are really inspiring. I also have armies for the period in 15mm and 54mm, but, for me, 20mm is the Goldilocks scale, not too small to paint, not too large to collect large armies, and plenty of room to maneuver on the table.
