But I will be interested to see how you get on with other rules and look forward to battle reports and more pics!Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206508285207986962.post-87910151049741142042009-11-06T14:22:19.342-08:002009-11-06T14:22:19.342-08:00Alex K is right about the paint job ..and I should...Alex K is right about the paint job ..and I should know as the captain sits on my desk even as we speak... :o) He's also right about the Asher book - recommended...<br /><br />To complete your Featherstone Campaign collection you may also want to get Omdurman - it's late period Sudan but still very readable..Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206508285207986962.post-30510337837644902062009-11-01T09:30:27.467-08:002009-11-01T09:30:27.467-08:00Thanks for the advice, will look into getting the ...Thanks for the advice, will look into getting the book.Prinz Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409013870510548637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206508285207986962.post-5460785329956898582009-11-01T02:06:34.187-08:002009-11-01T02:06:34.187-08:00Very nicely painted figure in the title box - if t...Very nicely painted figure in the title box - if the rest of your forces are at that standard you'll be playing some handsome games. Your hero could have found himself in the Sudan as one of the numerous European employees of the Khedive and now be acting as a guide and local expert for the Brits - a forerunner of Rudolf Slatin? I can also heartily recommend Khartoum by Michael Asher - IMO the best history of the Sudan campaigns. Have fun!Alex Kulichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419100157214025696noreply@blogger.com
