The Battle of Osmar Wells - OOB and Victory conditions









Not Osmar Wells on this occasion however another vital feature in a game played last year


Apologies once again for the tardiness of campaign updates.  As you recall, the previous series of returns had found our intrepid Major General David facing hostile forces outside the village of Osmar Wells on March 14th. 1884.


As always the players were provided with a detailed OOB

Deployment and initial dispositions were always vitally important.  As the umpire
it was always critical for me to ensure previous standing orders and instructions
were followed to a tee in order to...ahem..hamstring the lads where necessary.

A few added snippets just to stir the rum punch a bit!



Another more recent photo which I really like.


The actual battle report and a few old nostalgic shots towards the end of the week...I promise.

    1. Thank you very much Phil. It is certainly a period which lends itself to grand style shots that's for sure despite all the khaki!

  2. How outrageous that the fizzles date a British officers kidney and liver. Surely they would grill them! Looking forward to the next episode.

    1. A good grilling always goes down a treat in the southern Sudan!
