"Four Feathers and a Funeral" in the Yorkshire Sudan

Here's the moment of truth!

This wonderful game being put on by Andy and the team at Legendary Wargames in Yoykshire has been an absolute cracker so far.  Full of cut and thrust, great humor and of course some spectacular terrain and figures.

A menacing looking force of Mahdists make their way towards the Imperials
Makes me want to dust off my collection, set aside the Napoleonic's for a month and just rush across the sand again.  Methinks I will!

Looks very good doesn't it lads?
They have also been putting together a quite magnificent campaign newsletter which you should all take the chance to have a read through.  Very well done indeed chaps!

    1. Hi John and I hope you are well. Peter Gilder worked it out very early that a wargame needs to be attractive, easy to play and great fun for it to be popular and one of many of the great advantage of these rules is the ability to "tart" up those bases.

  6. Thanks for giving us this coverage Carlo. The game is playing out really well and is proving a great test run for the wargames weekends we will be offering customers once the COVID situation has passed.
    What it has shown us is that we need more native forces, even with the use of recycling their dead.
    Hope you get your collection out and have as good a game as ours.
    Cheers
