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.

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. |
