The Sands of Sudan at Legendary Wargames

Looks like the brave Hadendowah and Ansar are in for a tough time of it!

 
Great to see that Andy Lawson and his dedicated team have gotten Legendary Wargames renovated, pristine and ready for some significant miniatures actions for wargamers who enjoy gaming in the grand manner.

I'm always a massive supporter of folks who take the time and effort to turn their passion into a thriving business for them and a magnificent adventure for the many wargamers who desire gaming on a larger scale. 

For many years the WHC through Peter Gilder, Gerry Elliot, the late great Mike Ingham and now the sensational Mark Freeth have navigated the concept of wargaming "holidays" that are simply spectacular.  Having enjoyed an Austerlitz weekend many years ago up at Scarborough let me assure you, this Australian lad remembers it fondly to this day!

Legendary Wargames has taken up the mantle to game the wonderful Sudan campaigns using the Gilder inspired ""The Sands of Sudan" and the games are looking sensational.  If you are interested in a game or two check them out at their website.

The games look spectacular and  the figures are superb.  Thanks for the support on the rules lads.  The support of the Wargames Holiday Centre and Mark, Dave Docherty and yourselves makes all the difference.

All the best

The Sands of Sudan rules price increase

Original Peter Gilder Sudan figures acquired from Mr Cornwall many moons ago in a Mayfair Hotel of all places

A quick post folks just to let you know that a fresh short run of rules and cards have just been received from the printers.    The rules are still proving to be very popular with the punters and the positive feedback I receive both via email, on the blog and on the occasional forum I am directed to.

Unfortunately when dealing with printing, more is always better in terms of price per unit.  However, it is unfortunate that I can't justify a print run of 200 plus sets at any particular time for overall cost, storage and logistics.

The new price for the rules has gone up slightly to AUD45.00 a unit plus postage.  This does however include the rules, Quick Reference Sheet and the wonderful Random Event Cards as an inclusive deal.  Let me assure you the rules and their ongoing supply are very much a labor of love and devotion to the rules and my memories of the Gilder games in those wonderful wargames articles all those years ago.



I also know that postage rates around the world are getting more expensive all the time so have tried to keep the price increases very much under control whenever possible.
