During the isolation what’s better than “A Sudan Campaign”

Well it’s been far too long since the last Sudan post.  I'm sure that most wargamers know that at times other periods and gaming companions call for your attention and that has been my hobby life over the past few years.

As most of the globe goes into varying levels of self-isolation and lock down, I thought it to be apt to resurrect some posts of wargames of the past and the fun of a campaign played by like minded individuals.  As I have mentioned in the past, this campaign umpired by myself and played magnificently by NWS members of the time Svend and Gil and current day members Dave and Geoff, was one of my great wargaming joys.  So much fun and the spirit of the correspondence, orders, campaign messages etc. continue to be a credit those fine four chaps.

With this level of input from the players it wasn't hard to lift my own game as well
